Please join the Mid-America Regional Council and Kansas City regional education and workforce partners for the Greater KC Workforce and Education Summit on November 4. This year’s program will focus on efforts to foster a talented and highly educated workforce through postsecondary attainment in high-demand fields.

MARC will present an in-depth report on education and workforce metrics in the Kansas City region that identifies potential key indicators that measure the region’s progress in preparing students for postsecondary success and producing meaningful skills, credentials and degrees to meet industry needs and create regional prosperity. This report’s key metrics will set the baseline for our community’s work through the Lumina Foundation’s Community Partnership for Attainment program initiative.

The agenda includes presentations on the importance of a skilled workforce, building stronger industry partnerships with education, college and career readiness within K-12, and providing opportunities for adult learners. Presenters and breakout session panelists include several of the region’s leaders in workforce and education:

  • Mark James, Metropolitan Community College
  • Chuck Ambrose, University of Central Missouri
  • Cynthia Lane, Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools
  • Doris Givens, Kansas City Kansas Community College
