CEOs for Cities continues a six-part webinar series entitled "Strategies for City Success," designed specifically to meet the needs of cities participating in the Talent Dividend Network and Talent Dividend Prize Competition.
The series began in December and will continue on the first Friday of each month through May 2013. Each webinar begins at 2:30 pm EST.
The next webinar,
Working as a Community, is on March 1.
The webinar will highlight how economic development and workforce development efforts are not only complimentary, but must be linked in order for communities and their economies to grow. The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) will provide examples of work conducted with our economic analysis partner, Avalanche Consulting, across the country to assess regional skills development assets and align learning opportunities with growing and high-potential industry sectors.
While each community's economy and economic development aspirations are unique, CAEL will share how communities can make the most of their schools, training programs and partnerships to increase job opportunities for its citizens while addressing businesses workforce needs. The session will showcase the JAXUSA Partnership -- Jacksonville and Northeast Florida's regional economic development initiative. JAXUSA is a private, nonprofit division of the JAX Chamber.
