I facilitate partnerships that will attract businesses and create jobs within my community.
A great day for me would involve several meetings with our private partners, policymakers, community members, and educators where we are developing innovative ideas that can attract low-tech and hi-tech businesses to our region. I travel quite a bit to meet with potential business partners. I also do a lot of research on resources that we can use to develop career development solutions for our region.
Here's the first step for high school students
Having a strong science and math background will give you a good foundation that will lead into understanding how projects (like a new mall or football stadium) affects the environment we live in. Join clubs that teach critical thinking skills like the math club, chess club, speech club. Team sports and student government will help you learn leadership and teamwork skills that critical to learning how to manage teams and projects. Use homework to learn how to complete projects on time.
