“It is encouraging to see our local policymakers engaging with the community to identify issues most important to us. In response to questions about tomorrow’s demand for skilled labor in our workforce, Congressman Cleaver stressed the importance of investing in local community colleges to ensure specific skills, required by trades, are properly funded. Funding of local charter schools continues to be a focus and benefits local businesses like Ruskin. Clearly, when considering tomorrow’s business needs, investing in a diverse, well-educated, and innovative workforce is our best path toward remaining competitive in a global business landscape.”
