With data centers and battery plants popping up and Intel’s new chip factories forging ahead, there’s no doubt that Ohio’s future competitiveness will depend on a skilled workforce prepared to work in high-tech industries. Business leaders and advocates of education reform are lobbying for greater literacy and math skills for K-12 students, additional learning that’s firmly connected to career paths, more school choice options for parents, a friction-free path to college, and ways to equip young workers with the hottest tech credentials. What’s needed to ensure Ohio’s students of today can meet the needs of tomorrow’s workforce, especially in STEM and AI-heavy fields? Join us as the Columbus Metropolitan Club unpacks the education reform strategies state business leaders are backing.

Featuring Pat Tiberi, President and CEO, Ohio Business Roundtable; Lisa Gray, President, Ohio Excels; Geena Gamble; Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist; Worthington Enterprises; with moderator Alissa Widman Neese, Reporter, Axios.
