Why Am I Here?
Longest recession since WWII
Unemployment ~ 9%
37% of people age 18-29 were not in the workforce in 2009
National Center for Higher Management Systems 2006 Study: 88 million adults have at least one education barrier (47%, out of 188 million)

It’s the Economy, Stupid.
Anthony Carnevale, Georgetown: “Recessions accelerate the trend to eliminate low skill jobs and those jobs don’t come back.” New jobs = higher skills.
2009 ASTD Poll on Skill Gaps:Number 1 – Leadership (50%).Number 2 – Basic Skills (46%).

What Is This Guy Selling?
A used car? Insurance you don’t need? A free estimate with nine
pages of “fine print”?
Trying to create a new, statewide “work readiness credential.”
Less than easy: It will take agreement and a willingness to share a common tool.
More Partners + More Employers = More Success

are NOT doing.
