(Boston, MA) November 9th, 2011 - On Monday, hundreds of New England’s higher education, government and business leaders came together for the New England Works: A New England Leadership Summit on Bridging Higher Education and the Workforce conference, sponsored in part by ConnectEDU. The leaders met to discuss the vital role of higher education in preparing the highly skilled workers that will drive future innovation.
The New England Works Summit examined key questions facing higher education and workforce development in New England and across the nation, such as: How do we fix the gap between supply and demand in the New England labor market? And how can higher education institutions prepare learners for the fast-changing 21st Century economy?
Ted Fischer, ConnectEDU’s President and Chief Operating Officer, kicked off the conference as an introductory speaker.
Ted explains, “ConnectEDU’s dedication to engaging education, policy and workforce leaders from around New England to help bridge higher education and the workforce is central to our mission. Our platform is designed to provide learners the tools necessary to close the workforce gap. With products like AlumniConnect, StudentRecruit and TalentConnect, we can ensure that our postsecondary graduates are career ready for the jobs of the New England innovation economy.”
ConnectEDU teamed up with Massachusetts state agencies to create a statewide college and career planning portal focused on enabling student success. YourPlanForCollege.org, powered by ConnectEDU technologies, launched this fall in over 130 high schools across Massachusetts. Members of the YourPlanForCollege team attended the conference to take part in the important discussion.
“We’re excited to be part of the thought leadership that came together on this critical topic. YourPlanForCollege is supporting students in high schools across the Commonwealth as they develop skills directly correlated to meaningful employment. –Marie DeMego, State Director of YourPlanForCollege.

Did you know America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug use? It's nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we need to do is start the war on education. If it's anywhere near as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we'll all be hooked on phonics.
