About this event

A morning with education and industry leaders facing today's workforce shortage with Spokane as the proving ground.

About this Event

The U.S. needs millions of skilled workers to meet the impending workforce gap. The problem isn’t a shortage of talent. It’s a shortage of connections between employers, schools and labor organizations. On November 13, Spokane is convening the leaders necessary to close the gap between classrooms and careers.

Hosted by Dean Allen, McKinstry Chairman & CEO, this thought leader summit assembles leadership from Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University, Washington State University, Spokane Community College and Spokane Public Schools along with McKinstry leaders to explore classroom-to-career models in Spokane to prove what's possible.

The morning moves through three conversations:

Early-career pipelines, reskilling career-changers and training the next generation of talent.

Proven classroom-to-career models across K–12, higher education, industry and cred
