Flexible Education Networks

Add comment August 14th, 2008

At this mornings “Breakfast with the Mayor” for manufacturers, he spoke about the concept of “Flexible Education Networks”.  This is a similar approach that the Manufacturing Alliance of the Rock River Valley - MARRV created a few years ago.

This certainly has a lot of merit.  Join all the different education/training institutions together and utilize each others strengths.  Techworks, District 205, Rock Valley College, NIU and all the others that collectively can create the “virtual” education system that will take Rockford into an improved and more educated workforce.

We’ll all need to assist with this development, but it’s one that has a great deal of merit.

Watch for further news.
