The FutureMakers Coalition is a regional education initiative in Southwest Florida with a goal to transform the workforce by increasing the number of post-secondary degrees, certificates, and other high-quality credentials in Southwest Florida by 2025.
They've created a survey to collect data about businesses in our region and their workforce, including what skills and education businesses need from employees, what types of business-education partnerships exist, and ways that businesses are looking to replenish their workforce from the numbers of skilled workers retiring.
Please consider completing the survey if you are a business owner, manager, or professional, or distribute the survey to your business organization contacts. The survey is short - it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to complete, but should be completed no later than August 10th if possible.
This small investment of your time will help the entire region better align education and workforce so we can all grow and improve together.
