 Youth Apprenticeship story really starts about a decade ago when the recession hit it was the worst in Elkhart County. Devastating unemployment rates and real difficulty of knowing how to move forward as a county. Brookings did an analysis and we were rated as having the highest per capita robots in the United States. It was determined that we were highly susceptible to disruption by automation in our manufacturing sector and we don't have enough bandwidth in our student population to be able to automate our manufacturers quickly. Obama came to our community for all the wrong reasons to find out how this community can rise up out of the ashes of the recession. Leaders came together and said we'll focus on the one thing of education. We brought together our economic development corporation, our chambers, our work one board and all of our school leaders to listen to our industry leaders. We were tasked with business retention and expansion so obviously after during the recession that was a challenge. We brought the industry leaders to the center of the circle. We gave them the floor to talk for most of the time but what do they need? What are their main main points? And we heard them say they wanted people to be able to do their jobs. We'll probably never be able to import the level of talent that we need in the IT space due to the weight structures we have so we have to create those capabilities locally. If we upskill our workforce it'll slow the ploy churn that we've got going on. So that was really the launch of a competency-based program. We knew that we needed to move this into the high school space as well. After the recession we started to partner with Verizon Educational Alliance on initiatives that they had relating to youth. We entered into a partnership with career-wise to help launch youth apprenticeships. Our 12 apprentices that we have today are in three different occupations. We have manufacturing technician, we have computer technician and we have project coordinating. This creates a whole new pipeline for talent in our organizations that are really starving for it. The next opportunity is to expand to additional occupations to reach more industry partners and to have as many as a hundred job policies. We're excited to scale it and start to help our manufacturing and industrial base. Elkhart County has a long history of collaborating. We will be learning from each other and with others across the country. We have a lot of opportunity ahead of us.
