| Regional Officials Discuss Economy on UNC-TV “North Carolina Rising” Series |
|
Joining Mr. Yost as a panelist was UNCP Interim Chancellor Charles Jenkins; Fayetteville Tech Community College President Larry Keen; Archie Hart, special assistant to the N. C. Commissioner of Agriculture; and Freda Porter, founder and president of Porter Scientific, a Pembroke-based environmental services company. The interactive forum addressed the region’s target industry clusters and the workforce development needs therein. “From what we see in talking to companies everyday…other countries are starting to do more than the United States when it comes to training their workforce, and there are things we can learn from other countries about how to better align skill sets with our workers and the types of industries we can bring to Southeastern North Carolina,” Mr. Yost told the gathering, which was moderated by UNC-TV’s Shannon Vickery.
