A key state Biohealth Tech Hub workforce project aims to connect underserved communities with employment gaps across the sector.
That’s according to Mark Thomas, chief strategy officer for Madison College, a tech hub consortium member that’s leading the project. He spoke yesterday during BioForward Wisconsin’s Wisconsin BioHealth Summit in Madison, highlighting the ABC Pathways program.
“We are at peak population, and so we have this almost existential labor shortage, right? And yet we have populations that are historically underserved with low employment and low income,” he said, adding “this is what we’re trying to do, is solve that labor-economics problem.”
