Eye On The Future

CBS 62′s Eye on the Future Initiative

With a nod to the turmoil that has gripped our region and state, CBS 62 launched its award-winning “Eye on the Future” community initiative in 2007 to put a spotlight on these issues and investigate what is taking place to prepare for the future.

The newest feature “Bridging The Michigan Workforce Divide,” airs at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, June 2, on CBS 62.

Bridging The Workforce Divide

"IT in the D" is a program launched 18 months ago to address the shortage of qualified IT workers in the Motor City. Quicken Loans, Compuware, GalaxE.Solutions,  Fat Head, and Marketing Associates teamed up deciding they had a better chance of going after qualified IT workers if they worked together to lure much in demand workers against places like Silicon Valley than going it alone.
