The 2014 Upper Great Lakes Talent Summit will continue to provide opportunities for our community to learn more about the collaboration of business and education activities from a national, state, and local perspective. This year's Summit is a multi-organizational collaborative seeking to connect the efforts of regional businesses, economic and workforce development partners, education, state legislators, local units of government and other regional partners.

This year's Summit will be featuring young people as the core of our work. Our future workforce is already doing some very exciting and challenging work in career related efforts.
