Well, the time in Southeastern Illinois seems to be drawing to a close and the next opportunity is about to unfold. I have enjoyed most of my time down here in Illinois wth the exception of the past seven months. It is a long story and maybe someday I will write about that story because it is so bizarre. Small town politics triumphs over innovation and collaboration once again. The fear based leadership making decision on nonexistent and non verifiable issues will hinder and confine the growth of this region. It is a sad thing to witness.
Anyhow, the stimulus money is here and the system has six months to show significant response to this effort to retrain American workers. I am sure most of us will do a great job. The key is to train for the emerging future job demand of business, and that is what the system is trying to do. Looking into a crystal ball is hard, and trends do not always give the best data for the future. However, if we remain vigilant and focused, we will impact the people we serve in a very positive way.
Look forward to continue this blog from a new location in the US.
