My idea of a great part of our discussions@linkedin w@workforceinvest

I lost, and the workforce development system as well, a friend and mentor. Ed McCann was one of the smartest people I’ve had the pleasure to work with in my career, and I owe him so much for his counsel and for what he taught me. RIP my friend.

Another example of, why local leadership matters

Research tells us that investment in workforce reskilling and human capital development is a “no-regret action.” It is a beneficial investment no matter what. brinknews.com/5Xw

Great spending time today with Career Source Florida!

An exciting day for #workforce on Capitol Hill! We are proud to partner with NACo Digital Team, National League of Cities, & The United States Conference of Mayors to convene a meeting w/ industry leaders to discuss important workforce development innovations happening at local level. #LoveYourWorkforce #WorkforceOnTheHill
