In this episode, Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde address the issue of the national skills gap. This follows a study published by the Harvard Business Report published on the broken trust between colleges and employers ( https://www.hbs.edu/news/releases/Pages/partnership-imperative.aspx)

For years the talk of the country has been that community colleges were going to fill the skills gap that employers are seeing in the workforce. A decade or so after the last major recession, are we there yet? It appears that we are not. Also, it seems that there is a broken trust between employers and colleges.

From the trenches, what is going on with middle skills training? Is there a broken trust? Is it a litany of incomprehensions?
