Six 'workforce accelerator' sites are planned, the governor announces.
Howard Fischer Arizona is creating a network of sites designed to train residents in rural areas for the jobs local employers need.
The more immediate problem, Hobbs said in her speech to the Arizona Workforce Summit, is matching up workers with companies already there and closing a gap. In Yuma, for example, the plan is to work with Arizona Western College to offer training in electrical technology, advanced manufacturing, broadband fiber optics and solar installation. That in turn is being done with companies such as Yuma Electric, Sunray Electric, Allo Fiber and the General Motors proving ground.
Still, she said, it's not a simple matter of telling firms they ought to be in, say, Kingman versus Chandler. "It's kind of like chicken and egg,'' Hobbs said."If you have the workforce, you can attract the business. If you build the partnership, you can also do it that way.
That may never change. But she said broadband may help address some of the other gaps in rural health care, making specialists in urban areas available statewide through telehealth.
