11/22/13 - An event next month will try and close the gap between local employers and schools when it comes to understanding what each has to offer the other. Dr. Tim Jackson is the Director of Career and Technical Education for the Livingston Educational Service Agency and says the inaugural Livingston County Talent Tour by LESA is seeking to address that gap. Set for Wednesday, December 11th, the idea is based on a strategy originally outlined by Governor Snyder according to Kate Roberts, the Work-Based Coordinator for Intern Livingston. Roberts says the tour will include stops at Howell High School to visit the Machine trades/ Manufacturing, and CAD/Design courses there as well as the Robotics, Mechatronics and Manufacturing programs at Pinckney Community High School. She says there is no cost for employers wishing to take part in the tour, but pre-registration by December 2nd is required. Both Jackson and Roberts will be guests this Sunday morning at 8:30 on WHMIâs Viewpoint. (JK)
