| March is proving to be an exciting month! We enjoyed the opportunity to bring IT workforce information to folks across the state through the Nebraska:Think IT activity. Currently we are gearing up for the statewide Career Academy strand within the Nebraska Career Education Conference, June 3 - 4. If you can’t wait to see us then, Erika will be presenting at the ACT Conference in Lincoln, April 9 on the Rule 47 Career Academy Components and Application Process. PFI continues to serve on various CTE advisory councils for school districts and career academy programs. If you would like to have PFI’s input on your activities, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your efforts in strengthening the workforce and economic development of our state, please let us know how we can better serve you! |

Thank you NEBRASKA for a very successful event on March 17! More than 160 engaged learners from across the state attended at their local community college. To our knowledge this is the first professional development of its kind! We were able to bring business, K-12, community college and university groups together to talk about how to address the IT workforce shortage in the state! If you missed this exciting day the resources can be found on the website!
Thank you to all of our partnering businesses, state agencies, postsecondary institutions and especially, Jacob Knutson from NE Economic Development Office.
