NE business leaders supporting strategic early childhood care and education investments for #FutureNebr formerly Nebraska Early Childhood Business Roundtable

[First Five Nebraska @FirstFiveNebr]

Sen. @MattHansenNE on #LB66: City development plans have evolved to the point where they ought to address local child care resources. If some plans include elder care and networking resources for professionals, child care ought to be addressed as well. #NEUNICAM

Access to quality care and learning facilities is crucial for a community's quality of life and #EconDev. Kudos to @UNLarchitecture for including it in their vision for revamping @NebraskaCityNE riverfront. https://t.co/7aWkrJNxUW #innovation

With 600 open jobs, @NEColumbus is a great place to build a career! #TalentAttraction is key, and part of that strategy means offering what skilled, working parents need most—quality, affordable early care and learning options. #EconDev #Nebraska https://t.co/XmZNtkbdIM

[Dividends Nebraska @DividendsNE]

Great story by @ljsreist and great news for #LNK families and businesses! Access to high-quality early care strengthens the economy through talent retention and attraction and building a strong future #workforce. https://t.co/V1UCJ4mrJd #EconDev

High-quality early care and learning contributes to Nebraska’s prosperity through increased productivity, talent retention and an engaged future workforce. Share ideas w/ @Blueprint_NE on Tues., Nov. 27. https://t.co/ImYIeT3N6w #EconDev #ThrivingChildren

Investing in early care and learning is a win for business and the community! Congrats Sampson Construction for being recognized with the Step Up Award from @Prosper_Lincoln. #ThrivingChildren #LNK #EconDev https://t.co/MP4WNakeA2

Melissa Kelly, Pender Community Hospital, “one of the two biggest issues facing Pender is our lack of early childcare options.” Shortages in ECE infrastructure are holding back too many of NE’s communities. #ThrivingChildren

[Dividends Nebraska @DividendsNE]

Senator Matt Williams “we have 55,000 unfilled jobs in the state … and the No. 1 way to deal with that issue is through education. Education is the key to growing our state.” We will need more early childhood education infrastructure to help solve the problem. #ThrivingChildren

[Dividends Nebraska @DividendsNE]

It's not a foregone conclusion that growth in automation will be a broad scale job killer. But it does mean we'll need a workforce with a capacity for adaptation & flexibility -- attributes we can encourage in the very earliest years of the talent pipeline. #EconDev #Nebraska

[YorkNEDevCo @YorkNEDevCo]

There have been many conversations about how technology will change our manufacturers. This article gives a glimpse of some of upcoming challenges. Let's get ready! #EconDev #Talent #Nebraska #Education #Partnerships

Good to know NE ranks high in the nation as a great place to have a baby. Worth keeping in mind that the QUALITY of early childhood programs plays a major role in how well they support workforce development, workplace productivity and the strength of our talent pipeline.

[Nebraska Chamber @NebraskaChamber]

Study: Nebraska A Great State To Have A Baby

According to WalletHub, Nebraska was 4th best for hospital conventional-delivery charges; 7th best for pediatricians and family doctors per capita; and 10th best for child-care centers per capita.

Many thanks to @NebraskaChamber's Barry Kennedy for his voice in the conversation about how strategic investments in young children influence the economic well being of Nebraska—both today and in the decades ahead.

[First Five Nebraska @FirstFiveNebr]

To say outgoing @NebraskaChamber President Barry Kennedy is an advocate of early childhood is an understatement. He's been a long-time champion of Nebr’s youngest children & has spoken frequently on the importance of quality early childhood programs. #ECE https://t.co/fbAKPgc8JX

[Dividends Nebraska @DividendsNE]

@SenJimSmith , now Exec Director of @Blueprint_NE, spoke at today's legislative summit hosted by the @NebraskaChamber in Omaha. Discussion included NE's workforce shortage--good reason to build NE's early childhood infrastructure to attract and anchor new talent in the state.

45% of parents report work absences due to child care breakdowns -- about 4.3 days of work missed every sixth month, amounting to $28.9 billion in wages lost by families. https://t.co/AyXmwaQrYx @forbes

Much talk today about strengthening Nebraska's commitment to trade professions. Thinking "upstream" about skill development early in life can help prepare more young people for the jobs that will keep Nebraska strong and growing. #GrowNE https://t.co/yJEFC5J0tK

Strong turnout for today’s Nebraska Governor’s Economic Development Summit. #GrowNE

It's increasingly important the Nebraska employers understand how executive function development in early childhood affects the long-term marketability and competitiveness of our state's future workforce.
