Скачать или смотреть Workforce Development: The Student Perspective

A discussion between a group of high school and community college students, Gov. Ned Lamont, and U.S. Department of Education Deputy Assistant Secretary Luke Rhine was one of the highlights of the 2023 Connecticut Workforce Summit.

Three of the students on the panel, Weaver High School’s Liberty Blanco, East Hartford High School’s Gabrielle Hendricks, and Hartford Public High School’s Bryan Ortiz, shared their experiences with the career pathway programs managed by CBIA affiliate ReadyCT.

Northwestern Community College senior Luis Sánchez-Chiriboga and Julia Revellese, who attends Quinebaug Community College, shared insights about their experiences.

“We need you guys more than ever,” Lamont told the students. “There is a global search for talent out there. Everywhere I go young people are deciding where they want to be.

“I’m working with all the folks out here on workforce and we’re doing everything we can to make sure you realize this is a place of opportunity where you can achieve your dreams.

“And our job is to make sure you have the skills to get the job done.”
