2012 National Leadership Forum
Magnuson, Peter
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J3), v87 n7 p52-55 Oct 2012
Two key themes emerged from the 2012 National Leadership Forum: Taking Business to School, which was hosted by the Career and Technical Education Foundation at the end of May. The first was that employers are looking for a workforce that is technologically savvy while having leadership and employability skills. The second is that the business community needs to be more proactive about working with education and explaining the opportunities that exist within their respective industries. The 2012 National Leadership Forum provided a venue for representatives from the hospitality, transportation, and health care industries to share what is working and what is not when it comes to narrowing the skills gap. Through roundtable discussions, Q & A sessions, and from the panelists themselves, 16 action steps were identified. Some are focused on the business community, while others are focused on the education community.
