FROM THE EDITOR
One of the biggest challenges facing many business owners today is acquiring , retaining and developing talent . As we were putting this issue together , we found that many businesses are moving away from roles such as VP of Human Resources and VP of Personnel to new roles , such as VP of Talent and Culture , that reflect the importance of intellectual capital , skills and organizational culture in achieving business success . This issue of EVOLVE is about the changing trends in workforce education and training .
We think you ’ ll find the articles and resource guides helpful in understanding how your employees learn , and the changes in learning styles as we mature . A great reference that came from our research to produce this issue is the “ How Millennials Learn ” quick reference tool on page 10 . As Millennials are now the largest generation in the workforce , your company can benefit from not only knowing this but also responding to it .
In our last issue we launched “ The Road Ahead ” as a consistent theme in each issue to look at trends . In the Manufacturing issue Jayne Fifer , president and CEO of VMA inaugurated the concept . Robin King , president and CEO of CareerSource continues “ The Road Ahead ” theme with her article on page 22 , which offers a look at regional growth trends that are impacting workforce education and training . A special thank you to Robin King and her staff at CareerSource for their support in developing the content for this issue !
In this issue we are launching another new repeating article : “ Our Characters ” - A profile of the people who make Volusia County unique ! If you know someone unique we should profile , send an email to editor @ evolvedaytona . com . Of course , you can even nominate yourself !
We hope you enjoy this issue , but more importantly we hope that you learn something new or refresh what you already know that will help you to acquire , retain and grow the talent your business needs to succeed .
