October 21 'Call to Action' Event to Address America's Record Talent Shortage

CLEVELAND, Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TFS Results, the company behind the Education with Purpose Event Series, has opened registration at EWPAction.com for the Call to Action livestream experience on October 21, 2021. Delivered by education and workforce expert Mark C. Perna, this two-hour event will address the record talent shortage threatening America's post-pandemic economic recovery.

This shortage is highlighted in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' report of 10.1 million job openings in June. To address this challenge, the Call to Action will empower educators, employers, economic developers and community leaders to:

• Connect the dots between education, workforce and economic development
• Bridge the expanding skills gap
• Celebrate all postsecondary pathways that lead to living-wage careers
• Understand and motivate the younger generations

Perna believes that only a major paradigm shift can align America's education, workforce and economic development systems to fill crucial talent pipelines. "The Call to Action will unify organizations and communities to deliver the single most important competitive advantage for today's young people," he says. "At this event, we will ignite that vision and create the vital buy-in for change at the local and regional level."

The Call to Action is a unique catalyst to bring communities together, shrink the skills gap and build viable initiatives for economic growth. Everyone in the education and business landscape should leverage this event to meet the challenges and opportunities of a post-pandemic economy. Register at EWPAction.com.
