Not only for america but for all state as we learn from each other. Ive had the privilege of coming here and gaining some longlasting friendships in a bipartisan way. I hope the you governors will take advantage of the opportunity to associate one with another. All of us tout the successs they have had, but i have done the same thing about utah but theres always room for improvement and the opportunity to come and learn from unc best practices and what is taking place in this country has helped me become a better governor. I heard the song God Bless America and i hope god does bless america and i think he does but the best hopes for our success, you governors are providing solutions for the nations problems, laboratories of democracy as these little pilot programs we all learn from and as opposed to the dysfunction we see in washington dc i see tremendous success and function taking place and appreciate the organization. Let me conclude by saying i hope you have enjoyed utah, the rodeo event last night, if you went last night. And a great example of a small group, tried to rival texas, very successful. We have an opportunity for this choir here this morning. The mormon tabernacle choir will put on a patriotic conference tonight. I think you will enjoy that. Our concluding event will be the university of utah and our good friends donny and marie osmond agreed to perform for us friday night so that will be a good event. We look forward not only to having productive meetings but enjoyable one is too. If my office can do anything to provide opportunities to help to make it enjoyable and productive please dont hesitate to give me a call. We appreciate staff, we have Law Enforcement to make you feel comfortable so please give our staff and those who make this happen the background today. I will yield back the balance of my time. Thank you. It has been my profound honor to serve as chair this past year and a privilege to work with each of the governors and so many of your staff and agencies and others concentrating on the critical efforts on Critical Issues facing our nation and hope there is time to feed the good Governor Hogan later on. Really appreciate your partnership through every step of this, Governor Hogan. Im excited to kick off the summer meeting with a session dedicated to the theme of the chairs initiative, good jobs for all americans. Over the past year i have engaged those in the audience and staff in a discussion how we as governors to prepare workforce for the changing world of work for future opportunity. We know that we face a profound economic and social transformation generalized by technological disruption and the changing world. We know how we work and what we do will continue to evolve as it has in the years past. In our conversations with state we heard loud and clear that a challenge facing our economy isnt lack of jobs but lack of good jobs, if you grow and sustain the middle class. The Fastest Growing sectors of our economy are often low wage limited pathways for growth. They have barely seen Hourly Earnings since 2000. Wages of gdp have fallen 8 since 1970. When 60 of americans havent seen a pay increase in 40 years for todays terms. It is not working for everyone. The cause of this reality is complex, we consulted the research for many walks of life. We have 3 regional workshops to identify solutions. In pittsburgh, las vegas and des moines, thank you Governor Reynolds and Governor Wolf for being gracious host and participants. There are 200 experts. And these workshops, in white force whitefish montana we brought leaders from 32, and the governors guide will be releasing today. Let me show you a brief video, governors and state officials and other subject matter experts. I chose good jobs for all americans initiative. Vote for what we governors see and what we hear from our constituents. Every single governor around the country is trying to make sure the folks in their state are prepared not only for the jobs of today but opportunities for jobs tomorrow. During this initiative we had 200 experts, over 42 states and territories involve coming to the table to say not just what are we doing today but what could we be doing in the future . Due to changes, either automation or globalization, when the stands are shifting underneath their feet we have to recognize what those changes are and equip people with new skills and new opportunities so they can stand in their communities. One of the things i think is really cool is we have been able to place workbased learning navigator in the sum of Higher Education and they help to work with Different Community colleges and Higher Education institutes to create workbased learning experiences, internships, apprenticeship or whatever that looks like. Now we are at a time, weve got to give them skills and opportunities, it takes looking differently on what the Education System saw where you can come back to the two year colleges. One of the things im trying to learn about and bring back to the state of maryland is this idea of helping those in midcareer job changes, folks looking for career changes or looking to adapt to new technologies out there and doesnt seem to be a lot of policies out there. What Steve Bullock has done his focus on that issue and im looking forward to learning things. Nobody should have to leave their home or their church or their community to make a decent living. What i like about the good jobs for all americans is the focus on rural initiatives and adults because in iowa we need to get more adults in low skilled jobs into middle skilled or high skilled jobs. What is valuable to me at these meetings is the talk and discussion around what other states are doing as an attempt to incentivize individuals to come to or stay in rural areas because of the great opportunities available. It has been exciting because ultimately the answers are right in front of us. Good people all across the country doing good work and how we want to tie this initiative together is bring that Work Together for a guide for every governor in the country to make sure every single individual in their communities have a better shot. Now to join our conversation and to provide privatesector perspective please join me in welcoming malcolm frank, president of cognizant digital business. Malcolm joined us in whitefish for that summit and gave a Keynote Presentation that did capture the essence of the challenges we face in preparing the current future workforce with the skills they will need with technological change. Certainly pleased hes joining us today in his role as predators and of cognizant digital business, he oversees cognizants business portfolio that includes digital strategy, Artificial Intelligence and analytics, interactive, digital engineering, Digital Content platforms and cognizants Accelerator Program which indicates new digital adventures. Prior to this role malcolm was Vice President and chief Strategy Officer and chief marketing officer, his influence is wideranging and evident across media. He has coauthored two bestselling books, what to do when machines do everything and both received multiple International Book awards. Also authored numerous white papers focusing on the future of work, creates an industrystandard. Highly sought after speaker. Thanks for being here. [applause] i appreciate it, thank you for having me. In 10 minutes i will talk about two topics, the first is ai and jobs and the second is your state and how do you become a magnet for the digital jobs of the future. A lot to cover. Lets go back to hundred years. The luddites were actually right. These as they should have smashed those machines because they loom could do the work and 40 luddites. They were not very good economists because what did bloom do . Became the platform for the First Industrial revolution, the societies and communities that embrace the new machine saw skyrocketing gdps, incredible Public Wealth creation and they created their jobs of the future at the time. It happened a second time with the steam engine, the machine for the second Industrial Revolution, 100 years ago was the Assembly Line for the third Industrial Revolution and we believe strongly that digital platforms, Artificial Intelligence platforms are the new machines driving the fourth Industrial Revolution. This was debatable a few years ago. I dont think it is any longer. Look at the value creation. Eight of the top 10 companies are based on these platforms, two have become trillion dollar firms like amazon and microsoft. This is a special time and it is only just beginning so Artificial Intelligence is the great story of our time but it generates a lot of mixed e motions, great ambivalence. On the one hand lots of excitement, the art of the possible. We see this technical wonder. Oliver spent too much time on our smart phones working on these platforms and yet there is this deep concern, this fear about jobs. If software is feeding the world will eat middleclass jobs . The foundation of the good society. Are we going to be left with some ill ecm class Barbell Society of the hyper rich and then the poor living off of universal basic income . This is a real concern a lot of folks have. Weve done a lot of research on the cognizant center. Our latest book was about this and we think there is a song of hope here if you are proactive, if you take the right steps because when it comes to software and jobs, Artificial Intelligence and jobs, only one of three things will happen. The job will be limited, a job will be enhanced, think of using ways when you drive around town, you are being enhanced by a machine. We will see this come to medicine, teaching, police work, or there will be jobs in the future. We dont know now but try to explain to web designers in 1978. These other things that are going to occur. 90 of the conversations here today, the we are eliminating jobs and working for a robot overlord, actually 90 of the activity is going to be about job enhancement or creating the jobs of the future. In our estimation, 12 of jobs will be lost over the next decade. This is quite significant. These are millions of jobs that could go away and if you do nothing theres going to be a gravity. You will be victimized by this. I grew up in the cleveland area. To be in cleveland in the 70s and 80s it was rough to watch all those jobs go away. It was brutal to observe. We are optimistic that if you are proactive you can create these jobs of the future and protect great jobs Going Forward. How do you become a jobs magnet. Open our playbook. We are one of the largest tech employees in the us. We have 280,000 employees and work closely with leading platforms like microsoft, amazon, oracle, sat and so forth and so on. I will give you a playbook. How we view you. When we decide where to invest. We have a 100 Million Foundation around text jobs of the future. We are investing in local communities. How do we invest that money . The economic shift it will create winners and losers and it is not a bunch of bearded hipsters in San Francisco or new york. This is available to everybody, bringing power, not natural resources. We can spend an hour on each of these. I will spend one minute introducing them. The first is finance. Take a look at what is the role of government in the private sector. This is a famous case, this one worked fabulously well. We look at the role of State Government with fortune 500s. Are they investing in your state or pulling back . Look at private equity, venture capital, incubators for new job creation and new Company Formation and the one that is the canary in the a 9, the Smallest Group and highest indicator are angel investors, people who got really wealthy, grew up in your state, they love it. I they are reinvesting or are they leaving and that is something we look closely at the attractiveness of these communities investing in your state. The second is interesting. Bricks are buildings, Old Buildings built out of bricks and new Digital Workers ticking away under computers inside. This is a hot trend revitalizing urban areas. This is happening in lots of places. The district in boston, the meatpacking district in new york, it is happening across europe, kings cross in london, that is what it looks like 25 years ago. In one generation the regent revocation of this neighborhood is the digital hub. It is simply remarkable. That was a photograph from a few weeks ago. Tech workers working in this community. Amazing Publicprivate Partnership to revitalize the space, our office is to the left, new google plaques. With this, creating a new headquarters for Digital Workers, kroger doing the same to attract Digital Workers. Walmart building a 300 acre campus specifically to attract Digital Workers over the future. If you look at pittsburgh, bakery square they are doing the same. What are the Common Elements . These workers do not want to work in some soul destroying office park off of the cloverleaf intersection in an interstate highway. They want to be in these urban areas. You can kill two birds with one stone, urban gentrification and rebuilding as well as attracting these workers and these companies. They want a diverse community. A social scene. Then there is a weird correlation, it attracts these workers. The positive effects, there certainly is a big correlation. Bricks and clicks matter. The third, pretty simple, you can go straight to a spreadsheet. Is your educational system producing enough Digital Workers . I think theres been a mismatch between the academy and the private sector. Used to be incredibly strong. Look at the miracle of the California University system in the 50s, 60s in 70s. We take a strong look, you see this sticking with pittsburgh, carnegie mellon, duquesne, producing lots of computer scientists, data scientists, designers, electrical engineers. This attracts business, it attracts the whole ecosystem. If you look at the magic of Silicon Valley it started with the educational ecosystem out there as well so theres an incredibly Important Role for State Government in driving this connection of the curriculum of producing workers of the future. The fourth one, lose the tie. Steve bullock got the memo. What we mean by this is the culture of this community. Take a company we all know, goldman sachs. Think of the typical goldman employee. You probably think that. Master of the universe Investment Banker at central casting. What does it look more like this . Goldman, this is an old article. Actually 30 now, computer geeks. Is it an Investment Bank or a Software Company . It is both and the new ceo is wearing a tie at a conference but this is how he moonlights, he has that sensibility that is needed for this digital workforce. Of final point, make it open to diverse city. My industry has problems. Tech is not diverse enough. It is overrepresented by men. We would love to say lots of minority representation but theres lots of asians, mostly men, a lot of chinese, a lot of indians which is fantastic but greatly underrepresented by the Africanamerican Community and this needs to change. I live in new york city. Earlier this year we had the issue with Amazon Headquarters 2 and that blue up. A lot of folks, one of my friends said this was new yorks breakthrough. That was a little overthetop. This is socialist math. You can give them 0 and ask for 0 back and they prefer the latter may be. They are quick to blame amazon and government leaders, the underlying problem was diversely. There is a sense this is about the rich getting richer and not making it available to all. This is core to everything that has to occur and people around this table can lead the charge with that. That is the formula. The business friendliness, revitalizing these areas, tech workers want to be in, creating enough workers of the future, having a culture that supports these workers and making it open to everybody in the community. To finish up dont be a neil that i. Embrace the new machine because prosperity does favor the proactive. Not to stick this on your head the rest of the morning but this is a song of hope so thank you very much. Joining me up here is the president and ceo of the aluminum foundation. Jamie will share with us his perspective on good jobs for all americans and what we could be doing, globally recognized a leader in philanthropy, education and public policies, served as president and ceo of aluminum foundation which is independent private foundation committed to making opportunities for learning beyond high school available to all. Previously he served as cofounder and president of the nonpartisan dcbased institute for Higher Education policy and as executive director of bipartisan National Commission on the College Affordability by congressional leaders, author of the widely acclaimed book America Needs talent, named a top 10 business book of 2016 by booklist, his work includes Extensive Global experience as an advisor in southern africa, the former soviet union, europe and other parts of the world, respected analyst and innovator, also a member of the council on Foreign Relations in new york. Thanks for being here. Let me congratulate you on your initiative. Good job for all americans, a smart agenda, actionable agenda and you are to become ended for the important work states can implement and malcolm underscores the importance of why that work matters. I took three big things out of what malcolm had to say in his excellent remarks, the biggest headline for me is work is changing in profound ways and we absolutely need to be prepared to understand that how we actually develop and deploy the talent we need is a country to address the rapidly changing nature of work, there is a rising demand for talent, a huge mismatch between what we produce and how we deploy that talent. When expression of that is the vast majority of jobs today, two thirds require some form of Post High School education credential, degree or certificate, only 48 of americans have postsecondary credentials so we must understand work is changing in profound ways and if you want to further piece of evidence of what malcolm was talking about in terms of the changing nature of jobs i would spend no time trying to protect which jobs are going to be lost in which jobs are going to be created. Mit did a study last year of all these studies that had been done and they found absolutely no correlation from oxford to mckinsey to oecd. It didnt make any sense. Dont spend time on that. Think about tasks associated with the work and how your states need to prepare people for those tasks because they will be constantly changing. Several of you developed initiatives there. Second big headline is who we need to serve as a result of the changing nature of work is very important. We need to come to grips with the fact that lots of americans havent had the opportunity to participate in this economy and get the good jobs because they arent prepared to do them. Many challenges are related to income and other factors but we need to address these equity challenges if we are going to meet the demand for challenges in the United States and develop and deploy what we need. Luna foundation focused on Post High School learning, we have invested many initiatives across the country including important ones in states that trying to reduce the equity gap in their states and hold themselves accountable to those public commitments. I want to congratulate governor lee from tennessee, Governor Brown from oregon for the important work those states are doing in those efforts and we have 7 states, i would wont remember them, planning grants from aluminum foundation because they are trying to prepare to do similar work. It is important to think about who we are going to serve in a system Going Forward. The third thing and this is the exclamation point on educational ecosystems. It really is an ecosystem. Not just colleges and universities that workforce based training and consumer mediated learning and all the stuff happening in communities, and workplaces. All that is enormously important and we need to think about that ecosystem of postsecondary learning and the credentials people get to show that they are qualified to do that work of the future that will be extraordinarily important. Going forward a College Degree may or may not have the value it does today, but employers want to know that you know and can do something in order to do the work that is needed. We need radical change in the educational ecosystem. Tinkering in the margin isnt enough. It is great for states to set goals for what they want to accomplish in postsecondary education, 42 states have done that. It is an important first step in the process but finding the ways to create a Tipping Point for your state and change dramatically the Educational Attainment you have at the Post High School level to power your economy, strengthen the democracies that exist in your state is very important. Thank you both. A couple questions and then i will open up the governors, one of the things we heard time and again through these workshops is privatesector philanthropy, all working together to address the challenges we face. How to each of you think about partnering with states to better prepare for work . In our case because weve been an investor we have a mechanism that would encourage you to take advantage of strategy labs. We bring together policy leaders to solve problems across states. At the platform for policy leaders to create solutions and share information, strategy labs is a mechanism every state can take advantage of to learn from what we learned in the work weve done with states. That is one important element of that work. More broadly every state needs to see its state agencies as talent agencies. Historically we have seen agencies having a transactional role which they do. You need a department of education, you need commerce and whatever the agency may be but all of them are essentially talent agencies. All of them are transformational talent agencies because they are doing work to improve and increase the talent in your state to power your economy and strengthen the success of the residents of your state. This is happening in lots of interesting areas, in corrections for example, weve seen a growing number of states investing in their corrections departments educate prisoners so that they can have a second chance, it is an important part of what they do. A new prisoners initiative, a really good example, many of you have done similar things. It is important for governors to think about in this space to see how you can better consolidate and get efficiency from the efforts you have underway. One of the problems you know this, new and longstanding governors is entities exist in stovepipes and dont collaborate. Creating structures where they collaborate across agencies is important. I talked about creating deportment of talent. Not a new state agency but a consolidation of efforts where you bring your higher and Workforce Development and talent improvement functions together into an agency so you can attract, educate and deploy the talent you need to make your state successful. These are the things that need to be done in order to make your states more successful when it comes to Educational Attainment. You have to help us in very pragmatic ways. We are absolutely thrilled, over the moon about the talent, how the team is starting to build. We have invested, started to build that out and just like dropping a pebble in the water and you see the concentric circles build. As opposed to going in at 30,000 feet and levels of abstraction, be very practical in getting things started and that is working well. If you look at the bureau of labor statistics we will have 1. 5 million jobs short the gap in the us around digital jobs. These are great jobs, they are green, it is a growing field but we have this incredible gap. Weve worked in partnership in new york, in the south bronx, around programs to help people enter this economy. In North Carolina with Goodwill Industries where goodwill has programs where we work with folks to get them on this latter and climb the digital economy. We think those very practical initiatives that can get job started and change the trajectory of individuals and families is incredibly important. The program was a shortterm 8 week program taking folks in, giving them all jobs. One of the things when you were talking that you talked about, what you look for with cognizant cognizant. Now i have to find a Major League Soccer team and moved to montana but in addition to that, what would your advice be if you woke up one morning and you are governor what is the most impactful strategy a governor can pursue as we prepare the workforce of the future . It is going to produce results overnight. That is incredible to the business community. That is what these firms are looking for. You dont want to just have a flybynight relationship. We are looking in terms of partnership. The educational system going to be there and places to work. People love working there. Similarly if we find the urban revitalization those of the two that are the killers that drive this. Jamie, lumina and you have been doing incredible work throughout the foundations history. How do we make sure that attainment can translate into jobs of the future that we are hearing about the we might not know what those jobs are . I just returned from living in london while a big can of the soccer idea. Ive got a lot on my plate. I run this National Foundation as part of my job is to stay ahead of the work. Im working on a new book preparing for the future of human work that only humans can do. Something i found was an interesting fact about how much Human Knowledge has changed in the course of history. From the earliest part of recorded history, Human Knowledge double every hundred years. By 1950 was doubling every 25 years. By 2000 it was doubling every year. Today there is evidence Human Knowledge is doubling every day. How do we stay ahead of that is incredibly important and the postsecondary ecosystem has got to be critical to that. We have to understand how Human Knowledge is changing and how we apply it to the way people learn and this goes back to your initiative, the idea of this Virtuous Cycle of learning and working is very important. We grew up with this model, this mental frame. First you learn, then you were, those are the phases of life but the reality today, you have to ratchet your way through the process of learning is working all the way through if you are going to be a successful participant in your communities, this will bring you the rewards you deserve. We have to think about building postsecondary learning ecosystems, the lives of people who are working. Todays college student, the learner of today is not your typical 18yearold graduating from high school and going and living in a dorm on a residential campus. They represent less than one of 5 overseas today. They are working almost half of College Students and a significant number, one of every four College Students is a parent so they are dealing with those things. Weve got to be thinking about building a postsecondary attainment model that meets the learners today where they are and gives them opportunities through their work and the existing educational ecosystem to help them be successful. I want to underscore the point, credentials are going to matter in the labor market for the worker. Employers want to know what you know and what you can do. A big problem with the current credential ecosystem is there is no translation tool among all the different credentials out there so you get a license, or a certification or a certificate or degree or anything else and those systems dont talk to each other. We have to find ways to recognize all learning counts and develop a system so these credentials talk to each other. We invested in something that is an infrastructure called credential engine. Basically the dna you will meet for these credential systems to talk to each other. It is a webbased protocol. This protocol is being pilot tested by employers, by colleges and universities, by workforce agencies, something i hope states can invest in to publish the data they have about their credentials using this protocol so we can better understand what employers expect from workers they are trying to hire and what the skills are of the people who are being hired in order to do that, we need to have translation mechanisms if we can do that, we will have the dna, the raw material for very different credential ecosystem Going Forward and this is something we can work with you. Thanks. I want to invite other governors to join in the discussion and share your comments for questions with malcolm, jamie, and me. Also thanks for joining us am a would you mind sharing your insights or take aways from those discussions . I want to thank the panelists for joining us. I want to give my thanks and appreciation to governor Steve Bullock for his leadership of the nga and his initiative on good jobs for all americans. It has been a pleasure working alongside him. This has been a Great Campaign focused on good jobs and growing our economy. I had the pleasure of joining governor Steve Bullock and Governor Reynolds in iowa for a regional workshop where we were able to share some good ideas and best practices and some of my team was able to join on a couple of other my commerce secretary participated along with my senior staff. It was really helpful and we got leaders from across the country governor Steve Bullock pulled together. Great discussions about workforce, interesting discussions about rural workforce and jobs of the future. I really think it is a terrific initiative and i want to thank you for your leadership. It was a valuable opportunity to get thought leaders together from the private sector and many different perspectives together with the governors and some of our staffs to discuss the challenges we face and i want to thank Governor Reynolds for hosting us in iowa and thank governor Steve Bullock for his leadership on some initiatives and thank our panelists for joining us this morning. What we learned from you. I want to reiterate other comments. Thank you for the initiative, there is not a governor across the state not dealing with workforce as we see the economy growing. We have jobs, looking for people. Thank you for the opportunity to host you in iowa. It was cold or where you left home. Route opportunities for all iowans. The Iowa Initiative the past our legislature unanimously. Our goal is to have 70 of iowans have education or Training Beyond High School by 2025 through apprenticeship programs. For underserved and underrepresented schools across the state. In elementary and, what i am proud of has a lot of opportunities to scale. The entire summer from junior and senior year, when they graduate, students can make 4050,000 in the last 2 years of high school go into a job, have absolutely no debt. To advance in their career. This is the game changer in rural iowa, it can be with nursing and construction and computer science, you name the industry the blueprint is there. To be so proud of what they are doing, charles is one of the individuals that went through the first apprenticeship program, all the other kids in school want the opportunity to buy the f1 thrifty f150 black truck as well. I want to mention one of the things, no matter where you live you have opportunities for workplace learning. It is a game changer, allows kids to test run careers and find out and we launched in july a work based clearinghouse where we have 107 employers that put workplace learning opportunities on the website so teachers throughout the state of they dont have an opportunity their community can go online. So again, we focused on rural iowa but the a aberration, we heard from other states what they were doing and to talk about what they are doing and we are doing and look for opportunities to scale, it is a great workshop. A little time for questions or comments from governor herbert. I expect all of us are concerned about job creation, and opportunities for everybody. Most all of us in the states face a form of fashion called intergenerational poverty. Generation after generation finding an inch in the marketplace. Dealing with intergenerational poverty and eliminate it. Going after that problem specifically. Governor reynolds talked about the High School Program is extraordinary, it gives kids purpose, new york city has this tragedy of how it produces 50,000 High School Students per year, the city needs 50,000 workers and the overlap is 3 . It is a mess. Your program consult things like that. It is the intergenerational issue, this is a nasty one because these folks tend to be forgotten. It is not set for them but we collectively need to fill that void. This is where Community Colleges plan entirely new role to help with those workers. This is where the private sector can come in and say these are the skills we are looking for. I talked about those Industrial Revolutions farm to factory. Managing that reasonably well over time. In a compressed timeframe to completely new skills and capabilities. That is where we need to have partnership leveraging infrastructure in Community Colleges and Work Together to build a curriculum. I also think you have the power as governors to instruct your state agencies to make this a priority irrespective of the agency. The Publicprivate Partnership. With startup companies, complicated legally to do this. And developing products to scale. They are training Home Healthcare aids and into the pathway. They are providing services, they want to create opportunities for those providing the service tend to be low income, firstgeneration minority populations so they can grow and learn and there can be a cycle of intergenerational success, the intergenerational cycle of poverty that stymied these states. The last question, we have to wrap up. Related question. Older populations, one of the oldest populations of workforce people in our state and we talk about midcareer workers and i want to hear more about those people who lost their jobs. They dont have the same mindset you are talking about when you talk about losing a tie and that kind of thing, the digital environment, how do you break through that and retrain people. To show them the path. What the political fallout, there is this view in the bay area and new york and boston. This is a big part of it. For government to step in and show the pathway, provide the bridge. This is where we talk about the partnership. Industry by industry, sector by sector to provide that. We find those are the best workers, twentysomethings, you got to work out of this. You find people in their 50s and 60s so eager to work and provide such leadership we need to provide that bridge for practical programs. This the ironworks worker it is not going to work. Meet them where they are. You have to bring learning to the workplace. We have evidence that they simply resist the idea even if you present them with data to show them with the economic model is so we have to bring the learning to the worker and bring adjacent opportunities that over time, is critical. My chairs initiative does come to a end, conversations around good jobs for all americans. It has just begun and honored to work with all of you to move this to the next level. This is what is achieved to good jobs for all americans. We have a copy of that guide and executive summary in front of you. Capturing many of those lessons we learned from this initiative. The state examples include is get ideas, resultsoriented actions you take in your own states to connect everyone to greater opportunities that have longterm impact. The same three focus areas is the initiative. Workforce of the future aligning educational work talking about Technological Innovations resulting new jobs and changes to existing jobs. We outline the role for governors identifying what skills workers will need to succeed in response to those changes. How to communicate those skills and develop multiple pathways workers can take to gain those skills. He will see examples like the Industry Sector Partnership i assembled in montana to create that Ongoing Forum for businesses and Public Partners to come together to solve workforce issues. Arizona governor doocy set a goal of what percentage of arizona residents he would like to see gain credentials by 2030. After consulting with Business Partners on business needs, if that goal is met, 2. 4 billion in new revenue for the state. So many of you, what a difference it could make. The section on second acts, we talk about the need for governors to focus on upscaling the current workforce, rescaling and reintegrated workers. It is a different world as we view the skills. In response to that challenge we show how governors can expand access to Continuous Learning opportunities for workers to promote seamless job to provide holistic support. An example how Governor Wolf issued an executive order to conduct a review of professional and occupational licensure board requirements, benchmark them against other states to improve seamless job transitions. So many of us are working on that as well. We also have workers with access to childcare, paid family medical leave, taking advantage of Career Growth opportunities and juggle family and work responsibilities. In the last section, the third prong of the initiative, Rural Research is powering the workforce, look at how rural economies are affected by the great recession. They are having a more challenging time. It is not just montana, it is every place across the states. We look at the ways governors work with Rural Communities to leverage unique strengths and flourish with a source of underutilized talent to build Digital Infrastructure with anchor institutions, integrate rural economic Workforce Development, create networks supporting those communities and individuals in rural areas. We showed how Governor Reynolds and i launched in rural iowa that resulted in significant investment in Rural Broadband but also the growth of private Sector Investment in rural areas and in that section we look at how governors can address multiple challenges like transportation, childcare to provide support to rural residents. There are other examples presented in the guide. I encourage you to take a close look at it. When i started this initiative what i hoped was to start a conversation, lead to action beyond the initiative. I hope the guide we worked on preparing is a starting point for further conversations with your state and workforce agencies and educators. Weve got to make sure it is just the beginning, not the end. Nga will continue the conversation in the future in work, policy for him in october where governors send policy seems to work on actions recommended in this guide but lets all of us make the platform.
