Demand for "middle skills" jobs in the state is strong, and will likely remain so for years to come. These jobs--which require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree--could be key to our state's economic growth. Does Connecticut have a workforce prepared to fill them?

Join us for an insightful forum on the skills gap, moderated by John Dankosky of WNPR, and taped for later broadcast on Where We Live.

Featured speakers:
