Greetings,
In case you missed it, the Future Focus campaign
launch was featured on WSET's newscast earlier this
month. You can read the transcript or
watch the video here. The news story highlighted
the need for qualified workers and the opportunites
available within the region from several employers.
This story provided a great lead in to our Future
Focus EXPO later next month; so mark your calendars
now and don't miss it!
