The next Arkansas Economic Issues Breakfast takes place Wednesday and will examine how Arkansas' work force training efforts can meet the needs of Arkansas employers.
Technological and economic forces are transforming the workplace of the 21st century, with highly technical skills and a strong academic background in math and science increasingly in demand.
Are young Arkansans acquiring the skills they will need to be employed in tomorrow's good jobs? Will our workforce be competitive in the global economy? How can community and business leaders be part of the solutions?
The next Arkansas Economic Issues Breakfast will address these questions and begin the search for strategies and actions to improve the quality of the Arkansas labor force.
The Issues Breakfast begins at 7 a.m. and ends no later than 9:15 a.m.
It will be conducted in partnership with Accelerate Arkansas, a statewide volunteer group dedicated to raising per capita income of Arkansas. One of Accelerate Arkansas's five Core Strategies is to "increase the education level of Arkansans in science, technology, engineering and math."
