Description

On your Daily Detroit, we're diving into a crisis that affects not just our classrooms, but the future of our entire region: Michigan's unraveling education and talent pipeline. 

I'm joined by Greg Handel, chief education and talent officer at the Detroit Regional Chamber. We're going to unpack a new report that doesn't pull punches…. Michigan has tumbled to 40th in per capita income nationwide, a far cry from the place we held just a generation ago.

The full report: https://www.detroitchamber.com/just-released-2025-state-of-education-talent-report/

We're going beyond the headlines. On this Tuesday, November 25 we get into: 

What happened to our advantages? How did our state fall behind, and what's being done to reverse the slide? 

In a world where place and talent attract each other, we'll explore the hard truths and real opportunities for a region at a crossroads.
