I hope you’ll take a moment to visit and subscribe to the recently-launched blog from our Conexus Indiana manufacturing and logistics initiative – it’s a thoughtful source of news and commentary on two of the state’s largest industries and the challenges they face.
The latest post shares a feature from the New York Times last week on the national shortage of skilled workers for high-tech positions in today’s factories. In manufacturing, jobs are being created, and Americans are looking for work – but the connection isn’t that simple. Our workforce hasn’t evolved to keep pace with the advanced technical skills demanded in today’s manufacturing careers.
It’s a challenge that similarly confronts us here in Indiana, the most manufacturing-intensive state in the union; Conexus has seized this issue as its primary strategic priority.
