January Focuses on Demographics and Workforce Issues

This month we bring in some great speakers from Austin and our local Panhandle Worksource to give us a look at what we can do and are doing to prepare our workforce of the future. Also, we hear from our state demographer, Dr. Steve Murdock, who helped us kick off the beginning of Panhandle Twenty/20 looking at the implications of our demographic stats. Chair Diane Rath and Trent Morris of Panhandle Worksource begin this month with a look at preparing our workforce of the future, and we end with Rich Froeschle of the TWC tellling us how the Panhandle workforce fits (or doesn't) into the new global economy. I encourage everyone to attend if at all possible! Thanks!
