Table of Experts: Workforce development - Mosaic Project Mentioned
A May 2024 St. Louis Business Journal Roundtable of Experts brought together leaders in business, higher education and training/development to respond to recent research about workforce development for the region, and how their sectors could work together to make their offerings - and the region - more cohesive, connected and effective. The keys to future growth and success, they agreed, will be flexibility, practicality and collaboration to prepare students and support businesses.
Participants at the session, held at the Business Journal's office at Spark St. Louis in Ballpark Village on May 28 and led by Business Journal Publisher Robert Bobroff, were Jeff L. Pittman, Ph.D., chancellor/CEO, St. Louis Community College; Kenneth Riddick, business services representative, St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment (SLATE); and Julian Schuster, Ph.D., president, Webster University.
