Friends,
Years ago, when
Steve Murdoch was our state's first demographer,
Steve said "Our children are our state's oil wells of the future!"
Steve was talking about how our state's fortunes were directly related to the ups or downs of the oil industry in Texas. He predicted that this would be changing, and/or we could also reduce our dependence on oil if we invested in our children recognizing the huge role they can play as members of our workforce of the future. Leaders in Austin invested in recruiting and supporting the tech industry. The tech industry is exploding in Austin. Austin is thriving with young millennial professionals who are making a difference in the tech industry.
All that is background to say --- this newsletter is devoted to THI's investment in the workforce of the future in health, in Texas, and beyond! We are featuring our interns! We want you to meet the leaders, and "movers and shakers" of the future!
