 Hi, I'm Jackie Arnold, I'm the Strategic Relationships Manager at Sailor Academy. I'm here to talk about skill gaps and why we're focusing on them at the summit. A skill gap is a gap between the skills employers need and the skills that are available in the marketplace. Skills gaps can manifest themselves in many different ways and have many different causes. For example, non-native speakers may find English to be a barrier between them and living wage jobs. Hard adult learners that take a break from college may find it difficult to achieve career advancement and personal fulfillment because they don't have a degree. And changes in industry can cause the state to bring private sector as well as higher education and workforce development in the same room to bring hard workers and jobs together. We're proud to show you how three organizations developed models to close these skill gaps and bring opportunities to the communities they serve.
