>> MANUFACTURING HAS BEEN FORA LONG TIME THE DRIVER OFINDIANA'S ECONOMY 30 PERCENT OFOUR GDP IS IN MANUFACTURING AND

15
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:41.370
THAT'S THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OFANY STATE IN THE COMPANY --COUNTRY AND WE ARE PROUD OFTHAT.

18
00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:03.420
INSURANCE AND REAL ESTATE.SO IT IS DRIVING MANY OTHERSECTORS.>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT

19
00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:11.000
MANUFACTURING PEOPLE THINK OFAUTOS AND STEALS WHICH ARE VERYIMPORTANT, BUT THIS IS MEDICALDEVICES AND AVIATION AND

20
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.670
AEROSPACE AND OTHER AREAS ASWELL.>> SO MANY SECTORS IN THESTATE OF INDIANA.

28
00:03:06.050 --> 00:03:13.230
BUT WHAT DRIVES US DOWN IS THEWORKFORCE ISSUE.WHAT I AM HEARING FROM CEOS ON AWEEKLY BASIS IS THEY ARE LOOKING

31
00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:35.620
PARTNERSHIP AND HAVING ACADEMICINSTITUTIONS GET ON BOARD.IVY TECH AND VINCENNES, THEINSTITUTIONS PLAY A KEY ROLE.
