Yes. We need to build coalitions and partnerships. We need to build coalitions between industry and organizations such as ours and our universities to ensure that we are preparing people properly to meet the challenges of our economy today and tomorrow.
There is a gap. Partly we are there to close the gap, but we cannot change the gap between the actual training that our students receive and the actual demands that industry has unless we come together to speak, talk, and plan to bring our young people into the workforce with the skills that are needed by the industries that need them.
