Colorado Governor Polis was recently elected Chair of the National Governors Association. As Chair, he launched a new workforce initiative – LET’S GET READY! Educating All Americans for Success – to formulate a roadmap to support Governors and states to drive innovation, bolster capacity to measure what works and what doesn’t, and most importantly, prepare students for successful futures and our economy for greater success. Colorado Business Roundtable (COBRT) hosted a roundtable to hear more about the initiative and provide feedback.
Industry perspectives were shared by our own, Karla Nugent, Maria Demaree of Lockheed Martin Space, Kim McHugh of Chevron, and Brett Spenst of AdventHealth-Rocky Mountain Region, highlighting the critical role of businesses in shaping Colorado’s talent pool.
The event concluded with a collaborative Q&A session, focusing on innovative solutions for education and workforce development. COBRT looks forward to future collaboration as we convene academia, business, community and government to co-create the workforce of the future.
Weifield is proud to join COBRT to discuss workforce trends, challenges and opportunities facing Colorado’s workforce!
