If you want to improve workforce development in Indiana, it has to start with public education. Indiana needs to revise its secondary school curriculum to emphasize business and STEM courses.
It also should require attendance through Grade 12 (the idea of letting kids drop at of school at age 16 might have been appropriate for the agrarian economy of 100 years ago, but not for the 20th century global economy). It then needs to provide the first year of community college education at no cost to all high school graduates regardless of GPA, and the second year to all community college students who achieved a 2.0 GPA in their first year.
Unless the new workforce development commissioner achieve these objectives, anything else he might try to do will have only a minimal effect on making Indiana’s labor force more competent, productive, and prosperous.
