(From timesfreepress.com) — Saying he has talked with more than 1,000 business chiefs in his first eight months in office, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam told Chattanooga leaders Wednesday the state’s workforce is too shallow in engineering and technical skills. Haslam said many company CEOs have told him the state needs to bolster its education achievement for its workforce. “Workforce development and training, while we think it’s better, still has a long way to go,” he said to about 50 business and political leaders, especially citing the science, math and engineering areas. Haslam, later speaking to about 1,300 people at the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual meeting, said the state needs to raise education expectations. Read more .

(From The State Journal) — Although the state’s manufacturing sector continues to lose jobs, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said the industry is not dead. Speaking at the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation’s West Virginia Field Hearing on June 27, Rockefeller said young people don’t see a future in manufacturing, but technological advances make the field more appealing to them. He used the Toyota plant in Buffalo as an example. When the plant first located in the Putnam County town, it drew young employees from 40 of the state’s 55 counties. “These were young people from rural parts of West Virginia who just wanted to work,” Rockefeller said. “They heard about this plant and it just keeps expanding.” The plant currently employs more than 1,000 people. Despite the plant’s continued growth, Randall Moore, sub-district director of the United Steelworkers Union, AFL-CIO, said there is a shortage of skilled workers in the manufacturing sector and employers don’t want to take on the added responsibility of training potential workers.
