Description
The state of the workforce is in crisis. Whether it’s a shortage in a particular industry such as medical care or the lingering effects of the Great Resignation phase of 2022, employers are feeling the crunch – and job seekers are looking for improvements to the employment status quo. Deterring the crisis can’t wait, and in fact must begin when today’s youth are in their formative years and are preparing to join the workforce. Join this discussion about solutions that are at work today to connect the pre-K and K-12 educational experiences with the needs and career opportunities abundant in the workforce.
