On the latest episode of “The Devil’s Advocate,” Ed Sealover — editor of The Sum & Substance and vice president of strategic initiatives for The Colorado Chamber of Commerce — sits down with host Jon Caldera to discuss why and how The Chamber is working to boost the state’s workforce-development system. The conversation hits on why Colorado employers are struggling to find skilled talent, what kinds of efforts the state is making in conjunction with businesses to boost workforce training and why government and private-sector leaders are putting so much emphasis on creating career pipelines into the trades.
Workforce development is a pillar of the Colorado Chamber’s Vision 2033 plan for improving the state’s business atmosphere and one of the primary strategic initiatives on which the organization is working. You can see the full 30-minute conversation, in which Caldara and Sealover also discuss regulations and the future of the Colorado Labor Peace Act, by clicking the video above.
