Connecticut legislators, business people discuss ways to tailor education to job market
NEW HAVEN — The discussion was about good paying manufacturing jobs staying empty for lack of qualified candidates in Connecticut.
The answer was a partnership between businesses, high schools and community colleges to tailor training to the job market, but Steve Pynn, principal of the Sound School, said the reforms need to be more basic than that.
“Our public education system, particularly in high school, is obsolete,” Pynn said. He said the schools are not just in need of reform, “they are in need of transformation.”
