Ford today has revealed BlueOval Learning, the workforce development plan for the 60 mile radius around BlueOval City. I sat down with Liliana Ramirez, Ford’s global workforce development whiz to discuss the program in this week’s cover for the Memphis Business Journal.

What did you do this summer? Our Summer Research Immersion student Emani, a rising senior at Bartlett High School, accomplished a lot! She presented “Pharmacogenomics Testing at St. Jude” at the inaugural Research Immersion Community Exhibition. @cyrineeliana @KateAyers901

@vibrotronica @MemphisMagazine oh shit. I hope someone figures out how to get that screened in Memphis.

[Greg Akers @MBJAkers]

@GatesofMemphis @vibrotronica But, the story that ended up in @MemphisMagazine began life as a research project for a class at the UofM, and the sound tech aspects weren’t firmly within my thesis, so I didn’t dive into it as much.

[Greg Akers @MBJAkers]

@GatesofMemphis @vibrotronica not that this means it isn’t apocryphal, but I came across tons of references to the problems with sound and the stress it put on the crew while I was researching the story.

[Greg Akers @MBJAkers]

@vibrotronica @MemphisMagazine what was the original tweet that prompted this? It’s “unavailable,” whatever that means.
