A
Telecast on July 27th, 2005 This telecast will showcase bold new initiatives in the expansion of workforce development systems for maintaining and strengthening America’s economic strength. The demand for higher-skill, higher-wage workers exceeds that of any time in our nation’s past. New industries have emerged. Other industries that are today just a gleam in the eye of some inventor will soon be woven into the fabric of our economy. The constant of commerce in the twenty-first century will be the need for, knowledge workers, people who possess high levels of specialized skills and training. Two-thirds of America’s economic growth in the 1990s resulted from the introduction of new technologies, and 60 percent of the new jobs of the 21st century require post-secondary education currently held by only one-third of America’s workforce. To build the workforce of the 21st Century, today’s workers must adjust to the changes of the 21st Century economy. The telecast will include discussion on what it takes to build a world class workforce; a new streamlined workforce development system in the state of Mississippi; and a community college perspective of how local efforts are putting these concepts into practice. America must ensure that its workers have the opportunity to equip themselves with the necessary tools to succeed in a new and dynamic global economy. This will require local, regional, state and federal partnerships that closely link economic development and workforce development efforts. Note: While this telecast is free, registration is recommended, and no permission or clearance is required for rebroadcast. Questions can be sent to
