Appreciated the opportunity to speak about the needs of the labor market and how employers are recruiting and training talent as part of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities's 119k Commission’s public hearing in New London. Connecticut has 93,000 job openings—1.3 positions for every unemployed person. One of the challenges we must tackle is addressing the mismatch between skills needs and education attainment, with a pivot to skills-based hiring and a reevaluation of degree-based requirements among the potential solutions. #connecticut #workforce #workforcesolutions #transformCT

Excellent! Definitely a skills gap and the talent we need earn their “degrees” on the job. Glad it’s continuing to be addressed and championed. Appreciate the work you’re doing Chris!
