Community-Based Economic Re-Engagement Strategies

On Wednesday, March 25 community leaders in several Indiana communities will be coming together to develop solutions to help the firms and workers in their communities get "re-engaged" with the economy. They will be thinking creatively and preparing to act strategically to develop new civic networks like:

* Strategy redesign networks
* Direct re-employment networks
* Growth cluster networks
* Skunk works networks
* Self-employment networks
* Career ladder networks
* Career exploration networks

The next few days following the March 25 event, we will be posting their ideas on this blog. Watch the space in the upper right had side of this page for some of the most innovative thinking related to helping troubled firms and unemployed workers re-engage with the changing economy.
