Regional business leaders and educators will gather July 17 for the unveiling of the State of the Workforce Report.
The biannual report is expected to reveal issues, strengths and trends impacting Northwest Indiana’s economy for years.
The State of the Workforce Report is prepared by the Center of Workforce Innovations. It is presented by the Northwest Indiana Workforce Board. The report collects and analyzes demographic, wage and education data from the seven-county Region.
In recent years, workforce development has experienced shifts across the country, including Northwest Indiana. Regional stakeholders can get a first look at the report and contribute to a plan that benefits Northwest Indiana.
“To respond to ever-changing needs and demands, workers and employers alike are seeking economic regeneration,” said Lisa Daugherty, Center of Workforce Innovations president and CEO, in a press release.

The Valparaiso-based Center of Workforce Innovations is a nonprofit workforce development organization. The center promotes community and business investment in workforce, education and economic development building.
