SUMMARY:Connecting Education to Texas’ Evolving Workforce
DESCRIPTION:\n		\n	\n		\n			\n				\n\n	Texas’s continued economic growth depends on having enough people with the knowledge and skills to fill rapidly evolving jobs. Yet employers continue to struggle to find qualified workers, while education and training systems do not always have the timely information or strong industry connections needed to prepare students for emerging opportunities.\nIn this LONESTARP3 LIVE! conversation, Ben Magill, Executive Director of the Texas Talent Accelerator, joins us to explore how labor-market intelligence and collaboration among employers, higher education institutions, and economic development partners can strengthen the pathways connecting education to good jobs.\nWhat can educators learn from a clearer picture of regional talent supply and demand? How can labor-market insights help institutions make decisions about programs, credentials, and learning experiences? And what does stronger alignment among education, industry, and economic development look like in practice?\nJoin us as we explore how better information and stronger cross-sector partnerships can help Texas prepare students for emerging opportunities while building the talent pipeline needed to support the state’s future economy.\n\n\n\n\n\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n	\n		\n			\n				  \n	\n		\n		\n			Ben MagillExecutive Director, Texas Talent AcceleratorChief Economic Development Officer, University of North Texas\n\n	Ben Magill is the inaugural Chief Economic Development Officer at the University of North Texas and Executive Director of the Texas Talent Accelerator, a regional workforce intelligence hub connecting employers, higher education institutions, and economic development partners.\nPreviously, Ben founded the Labor Market Intelligence Center at Dallas College and led an $8.8 million federal initiative to create a regional workforce training collaborative focused on the emerging biotechnology and life sciences sector.
