The
Technical Education / Workforce Development
Summits are designed in response to Mayor
John Street's goal to propel Philadelphia
into the ranks of top 10 cities in the
country with a reputatation of being able
to satisfy current and future workforce
needs in an economy driven by technology.
The
goals of the TPAC Winter Summit, "eWorkforce:
Are We Ready?" are to:
- address
issues related to the dynamic changes
in industry and technical workforce
requirements;
- identify
what needs to be done to ensure a first
class workforce to attract and retain
businesses and promote growth in the
city and region;
- provide
an overview of the progress and achievements
of local technical development initiatives
designed to prepare and retain skilled
workers, and
- develop
response strategies to meet identified
needs.
A
Summary of Proceedings from the TPAC
Spring Summit 2001 will be available
at the Winter Summit, along with the first
draft of the Technical
Education Resource Guide developed
from information provided at that Summit.
The Resource Guide will be updated periodically
to provide a resource for those seeking
to improve their technical skills. If
you wish to have your technical education
offerings incorporated, please complete
the appropriate forms.
