Media Advisory: Making the Business Case for Business: Why Should Business Be Invested in Increasing Educational Attainment?
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Are the workforce needs of employers being met by higher education? If not, where is the skills "gap," and what role could/should the business community play in developing a job-ready workforce that includes helping workers achieve a high-quality degree or credential?
National Journal and guest panelists will explore whether companies can afford not to take a vested interest in improving educational attainment to remain competitive in today's global economy.
The event will take place on November 17, 2010 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Newseum Broadcast Studio, will be hosted by National Journal, and will be underwritten by LUMINA Foundation for Education.
