The Big Idea: Ohio was recently named America’s top state for business. Even closer to home, Central Ohio is attracting historic levels of investment in advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, bioscience, and other rapidly expanding industries.

But landing new facilities is just the beginning. The region’s economic future depends on its ability to build and sustain the right workforce.

How can our region create clear pathways for existing residents —including young adults, veterans, displaced workers, and residents left out of past prosperity —while also attracting new residents?

Most importantly, can we build a workforce development system equal to the scale of our ambitions, keeping the American Dream within reach for more Central Ohioans?

The Experts: Featuring State Senator Kyle Koehler, 10th Ohio Senate District; Dr. David Harrison, President, Columbus State Community College; Sandra Rodriguez-Toledo, Vice President of Site Operations, Amgen Ohio; David White, Vice President, Talent Strategy, One Columbus, with moderator Angela An, News Anchor, WBNS 10TV.
