19-20 CONSORTIUM SCHEDULE Information
Technology Sector Consortium – March 12, 2020 Healthcare/Life Sciences Sector Consortium – June 4, 2020
The Industry Sector Consortiums are being held in an effort to understand the needs of the business community. CSTB plans to meet with various industry sectors throughout the year. “I think it is important for us to hear what these various sectors of our economy are telling us,” said CSTB CEO John Flanagan. “We will take the information, work with our education partners and come up with a plan to improve our workforce in the Tampa Bay Region.” Industry Sector Consortiums are the vehicles through which industry members voice their human resource needs and where regional solutions for workers and businesses can be determined.
The Consortiums will allow a regional, industry-focused approach to build a skilled workforce aligning resources and addressing the talent needs of employers. “CareerSource Tampa Bay used to serve our business community by dividing up the county by regions,” said Dan Schneckenburger, Business Services Director. “We think it makes more sense to allocate our resources by industry sectors like manufacturing and healthcare along with others. We believe we’ll be able to get a better sense of the needs in the industry sectors we serve.”
These consortiums are led by businesses within a critical industry cluster. The goal is to work collaboratively with CSTB, educational partners, economic development and community organizations and find ways to improve the workforce in these critical industry sectors.
If you would like to take part in the one of the Consortiums, please contact Dan Schneckenburger at 813.930.7827 or email at [email protected].
