#ICYMI - "In Case You Missed It"
From the Desk of Lynda Weatherman - Presentation Highlights
Thank you to our sponsors, elected officials, Executive Committee,
Board of Directors, Investors and guests for attending our 2016 Annual
Meeting at the Harris Technology Center in Palm Bay. I have received an
overwhelming number of positive responses and feedback.
I take this opportunity to highlight specific points from my
presentation so that together we can continue to meet the needs of our
community.
In Brevard County, manufacturing has been the backbone of our economy.
This critical sector is facing serious workforce attraction challenges
that are impacting the future availability of manufacturing talent
locally. In 2014, the EDC introduced a pilot program focused on
Certified Production Technician training (CPT), a program dedicated to
training entry-level manufacturing workers. Then in July of this year,
we expanded our approach to include Talent Attraction directly appealing
to top tier engineering and high-tech workers. Both the CPT and Talent
Attraction initiatives will be organized under a new program called,
Talent Asset Pipeline (TAP). TAP will ensure Brevard County has the
skilled talent to fuel the success of the next generation of
manufacturing workers.
In a 2011 book titled, “The Coming Jobs War” by Jim Clifton, the author
states - “A global job war is coming and there is no time to waste.
Cities are crumbling for lack of jobs; nations are in revolt because
their people can’t get good jobs. The cities and countries that act
first – that focus everything they have on creating good jobs are the
ones that win.”
Throughout my tenure at the EDC, we have overcome many obstacles. Many
of those challenges we conquered together, while others were quietly
diffused without fanfare. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is critical we remain
ahead of this war and never become complacent. To attain victory, I
implore you to advocate for and contribute to this EDC. Together, we
will work to preserve Brevard’s relevance and business vitality against
the competition.
