about the program
Where are California’s employers most likely to find the educated workers the state will need to keep up with economic projections? This meeting, co-hosted with the Bay Area Economic Forum, raises the issue regarding the anticipated skilled-labor shortage, including California’s increasing inability to retain its own college graduates and the implausibility of attracting enough foreign or domestic migrants to fill this gap.
 
speaker
