To keep pace with anticipated job growth and to ensure a workforce that is prepared to occupy these positions Texas will need approximately 60 percent of all citizens 25 to 34 years-old workforce to have some form of postsecondary degree or certification. So how do we get there? The Texas Association of Business (TAB) is proud to host the TAB Higher Education conference on November 2nd, 2016. Within the context of changing state dynamics and growing global competition we will discuss the 60X30TX plan, its goals and solutions to achieve the plan and meet workforce needs to keep Texas competitive in the global marketplace.
The agenda includes conversations with some of Texas’ most insightful leaders including Woody Hunt, chairman of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Higher Education Strategic Planning Committee, Dr. Greg Fenves, president of University of Texas, and Dr. Raymund Paredes, the Commissioner for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Additionally we will hear from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Vice President Mark Schneider on data provided by the American Institutes of Research.
In discussing the 60X30TX plan, we will address specifically what needs to be done to meet 21st century employer’s needs, and the role the K-12 pipeline plays in this initiative.
So please join the TAB, members of the Texas legislature, and esteemed professionals in the higher education sector to discuss and convene on the future of higher education in Texas.
