Bridging the feedback loop between education and industry Technological changes within the economy are causing massive disruptions within regional economies and the businesses that seek to grow at the rapid pace of the global economy. As industries and workplaces change, so do the skills required to be successful within those organizations. Meeting participants will explore ways in which the Credential Engine platform may be leveraged to support creating more effective channels of collaboration between education and employers so that the institutions producing talent are able to adapt to the economic changes in stride with industry. Come join us on January 17th to help us celebrate progress and steer future projects.With financial support from a <a href="https://credentialengine.org/2019/09/12/national-science-foundation-funds-initial-work-to-create-stronger-connections-between-education-and-workforce-in-indiana/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">National Science Foundation Convergence Accelerator grant</a>, we’d like to invite you to come celebrate the designation of the South Bend - Elkhart region as a 21st Century Talent Region and learn how you can get engaged with these pioneering initiatives.Specifically, you will work closely with other leaders to:<ul><li>Promote a shared vision of a connected learn and work ecosystem</li><li>Learn more about what it means to have South Bend - Elkhart region as a 21st Century Talent region</li><li>Review emerging prototypes and initiatives designed to support Indiana learners and employers</li></ul>Event DetailsAloft South Bend Hotel111 N Main St, South Bend, IN 46601Agenda Overview8:30 am - 9:30 am 21st Century Talent regional designation ceremonyPrior to our daytime event, the South Bend-Elkhart region invites you to join them as the State of Indiana designates the region a 21st Century Talent Region.
