What’s in a tweet? Ideas. Information. Action. But when you add a hashtag to a tweet it becomes a part of a larger conversation series. And that series, when you look at it in a stream, can tell a very interesting, sometimes powerful story.

The US does produce mare manufacturing than China, India and Brazil combined
#cgiamerica
“we have 600,000 job openings in manufacturing right now we just don’t have the skilled talent”
#rightskillsnow#cgiamerica
” we don’t necessarily need someone w 4yrdegree-need soft skills & adaptability”
@hildasolisdol#cgiamerica

#cgiamerica ”@PDeeDixon:@misslori we produce more than those countries via size. what is demand for our products world wide?”
800 , but still helpful “
@JoAnn_Jenkins:#CGIAmerica@CocaCola will employ 800,000 army vets.”
Our education system is in shambles. No wonder we can’t find skilled talent for the job openings available.
#cgiamerica
Not everyone needs a 4yr degree, but everyone nds to finish high school
@clintontweet#cgiamerica
We’re kidding ourselves if we don’t acknowledge the racial divide concerning the issue of on time HS graduation
#cgiamericaKids nd a couple of instances of hope & inspiration as examples that education is worth their effort
#cgiamerica
Earlier this yr it was reported
#chicago was disciplining minorities more strictly than whites-kids don’t believe we care.#cgiamerica
We should treat HS education like a 401k with matching funds. Kids put in their grade capital &we match w training capital
#cgiamerica
Why wait till after high school let’s put shop-computer science-digital design as core curriculum in HS!
