Blair Milo, Secretary of Career Connections and Talent, visits Jasper and Starke Counties to Highlight Programs for Hoosier Workers and Employers
Blair Milo, Governor Holcomb’s appointed Secretary of Career Connections and Talent, made a visit to Rensselaer and Knox on August 1, 2018 to discuss changes in the economy, workforce, and implementing solutions for Hoosier students, workers, and employers and information related to Next Level Jobs.
Milo addressed community leaders, local elected officials, and employers, providing a review and county-wide snapshots displaying current job vacancies by industry with associated wages and educational requirement; future job demand forecasts; and county demographics including self-sufficiency wages and labor force trends. She shared state, regional and local assets that are providing assistance with improving career connections and closing current gaps, while identifying what’s working well and what changes could/should be pursued to inform a regionally or locally driven talent pipeline. Milo said that over the next 10 years there will be an estimated one million job openings in the State of Indiana.
For further information about the event or related to Next Level Jobs, please call 219-462-2940.
