Cal Meinhard, President
Insurance Services of America
10 Afton Boulevard
Hartford, CT 00000

Dear Senator Ross:

A vote is coming up on increasing the funds for Worksite Training, and I am writing to ask you to cast a positive vote. Many factors, including economic, social, and technological, argue in favor of increased worksite training.We have moved to an information age of high technology, global competition, and a multicultural workforce. All of these changes require upgraded employee skills.

Although we are still concerned with graduating students who can read, write, and use math skills, we know now that there are job/work specific skills that need to be addressed.We need to work together to define those skills and implement the training. As a start, we should concern ourselves with employees’ ability to value different cultures in the workplace. Inherent here are implications for teamwork as well. In addition, because of the automation of technology, our entry-level workers have to make decisions, use critical thinking skills, and work with much less supervision. Finally, Senator, we must do a better job of bringing the workplace together with the schools—public, technical, and advanced—to ensure that our newest employees benefit from all of our experiences. Please vote for the bill.

Very truly yours,
Cal Meinhard
