High-Skilled Work Force

 
New technologies and the shifting of low-skill production offshore are reshaping the skills that are required of the labor force.

Develop, retain and attract the best and the brightest labor force for all job levels by establishing North Central Florida as a model for continuous learning, technical and professional development. Create the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for personal and corporate success in a knowledge-based economy.

 
 
"The global economy depends more and more on skilled technology workers with strong math and science education. Our supply system - the education system - has failed to meet the demand created by U.S. Industry and is failing the students themselves. Our education system, designed in the agrarian age, needs to be updated for the Information Age. Industry stands ready to support aggressive government actions to move the system into the 21st Century."
Harris N. Miller
ITAA President
