June 13: How Immigration is Shaping Indiana’s Future
Indiana’s immigrant population is a smaller percentage of the state’s total population than most other states … but it’s among the fastest growing. That means there’s still a chance to avert serious problems before they arise.
When: Wednesday, June 13, 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Where: Sagamore Institute for Policy Research Third Floor Conference Room 340 West Michigan Street Indianapolis
Space is limited, so please RSVP (acceptances only) by sending your name, affiliation, address and phone number to Pat A. Hasselblad at pat@sipr.org, or by calling 317-472-7824 by Friday, June 8.
As part of Sagamore Institute’s Immigration and Higher Education Project, Senior Fellow John Clark is studying the workforce needs of Indiana and how immigration is impacting Indiana’s workforce and higher education system. This is the first of three Ideas in Indiana gatherings devoted to the project, and it will showcase some of the findings Clark’s team has uncovered in support of a Sagamore Policy Paper on the subject. Specifically, Sagamore is examining the most important workforce needs that must be met for Indiana’s economy to thrive in the years ahead, including analysis of the jobs that are expected to be especially vital for the economy’s growth and that will be most in demand in the next ten to twenty years; the costs of providing education needed for these jobs; and the economic costs to Indiana of not providing the education for these jobs. Clark will be joined by other members of the project team, including Research Fellow Courtney Burkey, Associate Fellow Justin Heet and Research Consultant Alberto Hernandez.
