Southwest Tech in the News: Students need exposure to opportunities by Tom Still

Last week Southwest Tech hosted the Southwest Wisconsin Business and Education Summit to discuss just that.
Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council was in attendance, and summarized the discussion best by stating, “Unless current trends change somewhat dramatically, Wisconsin will be home to more adults who are retired than who are working within 15 years.
