On August 10th, Pontotoc Technology Center hosted a quarterly meeting of the Ada Manufacturing Executive Roundtable. This meeting provides an opportunity for Ada’s manufacturing plant managers, owners, and executives an opportunity to network, address critical issues, and work with each other as a community.
At this quarterly meeting, the Ada Jobs Foundation facilitated a workshop with our local manufacturing executives and workforce development partners to address key findings from our Talent Demand Study. There was discuss about how to best connect our local graduates to open jobs and a follow up conversation in how to best ensure graduates are ready to work.
This information is being incorporated into a formal Talent Demand Study report currently being prepared by the Ada Jobs Foundation, which will be used to help direct new programs, grant applications, and advocacy efforts.
