The first day of the Governor’s Economic Summit in Detroit led to a lot of questions about where talent in the state is located and whether it can be suitably matched with available jobs.
Industry leaders and economic development professionals sat in breakout sessions for most of the day and came up with different ways that specific regions and industries can do a better job in identifying good job candidates and making sure they are hired.
Tuesday's program will revolve around a keynote address from Jim Clifton, CEO of Gallup, and the sharing of the initiatives dreamed up in the breakout sessions. Governor Rick Snyder and Michigan Economic Development Corporation CEO Mike Finney will wrap up the summit at 12 p.m. with an address highlighting their plans for connecting talent demand with supply.
