Creating World Class Talent Through Connections
Talent drives economic development and is the essential ingredient for competing globally. Simply put, we are in a war for talent. Local employers and educators are tackling this problem together - piloting an unprecedented systemwide partnership named Connections - embedding employer-based learning into area schools starting in the 6th grade. Connections is recognized as a leading practice by the Holland/Zeeland Model Community Initiatives, Talent 2025, Lakeshore Advantage, and the West Coast Chamber, and offers potential benefits to every employer in our area.
Local CEOs and education leaders will introduce Connections. If your company's success depends on finding skilled talent, you won't want to miss this opportunity to stay informed!
