Live from Cape Girardeau…@MardyLeathers kicks off the OWD All staff meeting! We just concluded a great chapter of the last Town Hall today. At today’s meeting we are sharing the outcomes & updates from OWD. #MoWorkforce
📌And that’s a wrap…! Thanks to all 350+ #Missourians who supported & attended each of our @JobsMoGov#MOJobCenterConnect Town Halls! From St. Joseph to Cape Girardeau, we had many great talks about expanding access to sustainable employment! #MOWorkforce@MODHEWD#wkdev 🤝
Thomas Geminger (right), chair of the SEMO Workforce Development Board said #MoWorkforce development programs are Missouri's best kept secrets and, despite fund limitations, thinks that marketing and promotion of services is the key to improving the workforce.
Wrapping up the day @JobsMoGov Park Hills Job Center with our great team who are doing amazing work to help our citizens connect to the workforce & sustainable employment! #MOWorkforce@MODHEWD#wkdev
It was a true pleasure to attend the CTE Advisory Council meeting and tour the Local 572 Plumbers & Pipefitters Training Center. This facility is training 450 apprentices to support the workforce needs #MoWorkforce#MoApprentices
West Plains #moworkforce professionals across the board, including @SenatorEslinger, want to see more high school and middle school programs aligned with industry needs. #MoApprentices
Enjoyed being part of @MODHEWD's Job Center Connect Town Hall yesterday in West Plains! Great to visit with @MardyLeathers and hear about the great work he's doing toward workforce development.

@MardyLeathers leads @MODHEWD Town Hall & Community Event Series in Springfield today. An open forum to hear and provide feedback on solving the workforce challenges of our time.
Are kids today just lazy? @MardyLeathers addresses this misconception below. As are most issues, it’s more complicated than a broad-sweeping, negative generalization about today’s youth. @"Youth Employment: A Time for Action"https://t.co/QUnuxpJjnA on @LinkedIn
What affects the labor participation rate? We know the basics like population dynamics, but what affects YOUR area? What do West Plains citizens need to increase access employment? 🗣👂#moworkforce
That’s a wrap on the week! We’ll see you next week in Cape Girardeau for our last Job Center Connect Town Hall. Learn more at https://t.co/ygDfGyCjR7. ✨#moworkforce
