Uncertainty continues with education this fall – in person, online, somewhere in between? K-12 back on schedule? Higher Ed on campus? But, amid the scramble of near-term decision making, there are community leaders working to prepare students for the best jobs coming to the Cape Fear region.
The Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, Cape Fear Collective, and RTI International are partnering to survey a minimum of 500 businesses across all industries, and in all stages of business development, to identify the areas of highest growth and the skills needed in our six-county region.
Whether you have a business now or are an aspiring entrepreneur – take the survey! Think about it -- when you’re ready to add great talent to your team, won’t you want a ready pipeline of applicants? The website shows just over 300 businesses have replied so far. Your input will help set education programs and curricula for the skills you’ll need to grow your business next year – and for the next decade.
A recent article in Fast Company on ‘Work in 2040’, pointed to some key trends:
