Workforce and Education

Respondents were asked:

“Throughout the strategic planning process, there has been considerable discussion about the focus and orientation of workforce development and community education. In the future, should the focus be more on building on traditional strengths and skills, or be more focused on future needs and emerging issues?

SCALE: 1 = TRADITIONAL SKILLS and STRENGTHS; to 10 = EMERGING SKILLS and ISSUES

Key things to note:

  • There was a wide spread of responses with most respondents opting somewhere between focusing on traditional strengths and skills and focusing on future needs and emerging issues.
  • Respondents who lived in the larger cities tended to opt more for focusing on future needs and emerging issues.
