Overview of Workforce & Education Summit podcast, by Mark Cate, Executive Committee of the Blount Education Initiative.
Launch of the Blount Education Initiative from Fred Forster, Blount Partnership president & CEO
Increasing globalization, rapid changes in the workplace, increased competition, and technological advances have made it apparent that all levels of education should be the top priority in our community. Stakeholders (especially parents, business and community members) must be informed, engaged and motivated before change can be initiated and sustained. For these reasons, the Blount Education Initiative (BEI) is being launched. I hope you will come join in as we launch this initiative which is critical to our community and our future.
