#WorkplaceWednesday The New High-Tech, High-Paying World Of Smart Manufacturing Careers by @MarkPerna forbes.com/sites/markcper…

The future of workforce development is strong in southwest Missouri. At today’s Taney County Workforce Summit, @MarkPerna challenged us to rethink hiring and invest in students eager to learn and grow. Panelists, including Shallina Goodnight, highlighted how our job is to connect students and resource them to be successful in their career path. Our region is building purpose‑driven learners and future leaders. The momentum is real.

Truly an honor to be your keynote speaker this morning!

Early childhood education can “build a tremendous competitive advantage in their life,” Mark Perna emphasizes. Generational expert and bestselling author @MarkPerna recently spoke to businesses at a joint @chandlerchamber, @GilbertChamber and @QCChamber event to address workforce challenges in the region. Businesses have growing concerns of finding prepared and qualified individuals right out of college. It is proven that kids with quality early childhood education go on to do better in school and in life. They are more likely to graduate from high school and be prepared for college and their careers.

@CaseyRangelBSD @BurtonSchools Truly my honor to be there!!

@ntofflemire Thank you… done!✅

@MarkPerna Mark in the article about Is College Worth the Cost, you have degrees and resulting underemployment with a duplication of Electrical Engineering 27 & 21 percent. You need to edit it.

@Rickedu12 Yes, Rick… great post!!

@MarkPerna how many educators would love their kids to be compelled to work hard as possible every day? The key question you need to ask is, are you compelling?

We hope to see you at our Career Tree workshop with Cindy May at Vision 2024 in San Antonio! With its seamless integration into your existing lesson plans and career development tools, the Career Tree doesn’t create another thing for teachers to do.

Let us show you how to inspire and empower students to complete their course of study—and thrive in their education and career journey. We'll see you soon - be sure to get there early as this popular workshop fills up fast! #CareerTree #EducationWithPurpose #CompetitiveAdvantage

Young people today, by default, are looking for cheat codes, hacks, and shortcuts. They want to shortcut everything they’re doing. As a parent, educator, or employer, you can either help them create these hacks—or they’re going to come up with them on their own. But is that really a bad thing? Or is it simply being efficient and productive? #EducationWithPurpose #EmploymentWithPassion #GenZ
