Future of things now

Only 44% of Missouri business owners are satisfied with the state’s availability of skilled workers The community colleges have outstanding technical programs but we are not getting the throughput. It needs to be pushed not only to students, but to parents, teachers, and adults with influence in their lives… We are not effectively promoting the social and economic value of industrial careers. It has to happen at the local level. Companies need to be stepping up to the plate too. We need a PR campaign, we need to make this a cool thing people want to do.” - Site Selector Source: 2015 Gallup Missouri 2030 Interviews
