EDUCATION SPOTLIGHT

SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE

TRBA members are invited to share their knowledge with a short, educational presentation at an upcoming membership meeting.

Presentations should be informative rather than promotional and focus on a timely issue, useful tip, emerging trend, or practical information to benefit member businesses.

For example, an accountant might share tax tips or a new tax law, while a technology professional might discuss cybersecurity best practices.

Below are the recent Education Spotlight speakers and some details of their presentations.

Sign up to reserve a future meeting spot and share your expertise with the Two Rivers business community.

Business: The Chamber of Manitowoc County
Date: September 2026

In partnership with Progress Lakeshore, the Chamber of Manitowoc County conducted a regional Talent Survey to understand evolving workforce needs and what employers will need to remain competitive over the next 5–10 years. Responses from 48 employers across diverse industries highlighted challenges in finding qualified applicants, technical and soft-skills gaps, growing demand for AI and technology skills, leadership succession, and the importance of retention, workplace culture, flexibility, and employee development. Employers also identified housing, childcare, transportation, population trends, and quality of life as critical to attracting and retaining talent. Findings will help guide future workforce programs, partnerships, and investments.
