Experts urge tilt to Inland jobs
Inland business, education and work force development officials say the goal of those preparing the region's youths for careers should be to steer them toward occupations that will be prominent here, rather than training them to commute to Southern California's coastal counties.
Mike Gallo, president of Kelly Space & Technology Inc., said that collaboration among the various interested sectors will see a trained-for-local-industries work force as one of the most immediate tangible benefits.
Gallo and other participants at a Riverside conference on work force and economic development Thursday said that businesses want to move to a location with a work force they can use already in place, rather than relocate and then train the existing work force to meet their needs.
