00:00:01>> GOOD MORNING.
WE ARE HONORED TO HOST GOVERNOR
00:00:07JOHN KASICH AT THE MADISON
OPERATIONS CENTER AS TODAY'S
00:00:13SIGNING INTO LAW SENATE BILL
316, EDUCATION WORKFORCE BEFORE
00:00:20LEGISLATION.
WE'RE ALSO VERY EXCITED THAT
00:00:24THE GOVERNOR HAS CHOSEN TO
HIGHLIGHT THE INNER LINES OF
00:00:27GREATER CINCINNATI AS PART OF
THE PROGRAM TODAY.
00:00:28MY NAME IS JOE ROBBINSTON, AND I
AM THE CIO FOR FIFTH THIRD BANK.
00:00:35AND I SERVE ON THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS FOR LINES.
00:00:39I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME EVERYONE
TO THE EVENT TODAY.
00:00:42I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK
KEVIN CABOT, OUR PRESIDENT AND
00:00:46CEO AT FIFTH THIRD BANK FOR ITS
SUPPORT OF THE ALLIANCE PROGRAM,
00:00:50AS WELL AS HIS PASSION FOR THE
GALESIC COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
00:00:57EFFORTS THAT OUR EMPLOYEES
ENGAGED IN EVERY DAY.
00:00:59FIFTH THIRD BANK IS EXTREMELY
PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THE
00:01:06ALLIANCE AND HAS SUPPORTED THE
PROGRAM SINCE IT BEGAN IN 2006.
00:01:13IN THE 2004 AND 2005 TIMEFRAME,
THE I.T. LEADERS IN THE
00:01:19CINCINNATI AREA WERE HAVING A
VERY DIFFICULT TIME HIRING LOCAL
00:01:25I.T. TALENT.
WE ALSO OBSERVED A SIGNIFICANT
00:01:29DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO WERE
00:01:31PURSUING I.T. DEGREES.
MANY OF THE LOCAL I.T. LEADERS
00:01:37WERE ACTIVE ON UNIVERSITY
ADVISORY BOARDS AND THEY WERE
00:01:40TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
BUT IT QUICKLY BECAME CLEAR THAT
00:01:46THE PROBLEM REALLY STARTED
BEFORE STUDENTS WERE ARRIVING ON
00:01:50CAMPUS.
THEY WERE -- THEY WERE FORMING
00:01:53NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF I.T., OR
DID NOT UNDERSTAND I.T., THE
00:01:57ROLE IT PLAYS IN BUSINESS AND
THE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
00:02:01AVAILABLE TO THEM.
WE NEEDED TO IMPACT STUDENTS
00:02:04BEFORE THEY ARRIVED ON CAMPUS.
I ALSO BELIEVE THE FIRST THING
00:02:08OF THE.COM BUBBLE AND THE PURSE
-- OF THE DOTCOM BUBBLE AND THE
00:02:18PURSUING OF THESE JOBS HAS
HAPPENED IN CONVERSATIONS
00:02:22BETWEEN PARENTS AND STUDENTS.
SUPPORTING THIS ALLIANCE, THE
00:02:29DECISION TO DO SO, WITH A SIMPLE
ONE.
00:02:32WE NEEDED TO SOLVE THIS SUPPLY
AND DEMAND ISSUE.
00:02:35AND OUR DIRECTOR AT ALLIANCE HAD
A PROPOSAL TO BRING TOGETHER THE
00:02:41BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN SUCH A WAY
TO CREATE AWARENESS, ENERGY, AND
00:02:44EXCITEMENT FOR I.T. CAREERS AT A
HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.
00:02:48THE PROGRAM HAS GROWN RAPIDLY.
WE STARTED WITH A SINGLE CAREER
00:02:54CAMP BACK IN 2006.
NOW WE HOLD MULTIPLE CAREER
00:02:58CAMPS EACH AND EVERY YEAR, AS
WELL AS CONFERENCES AND
00:03:02INTERNSHIPS AND WE HAVE REACHED
OVER 1300 STUDENTS SO FAR.
00:03:08FIFTH THIRD HAS CONSISTENTLY
SPONSORED THE I.T. TO REHR CAMP
00:03:14-- CAREER CAMP AND STUDENTS
VISIT MULTIPLE BUSINESSES SO
00:03:21THEY CAN LEARN HOW I.T. SUPPORTS
BUSINESSES.
00:03:24IN FACT, WE WILL HOST A CAMP
VISIT IN JULY IN THIS VERY
00:03:28BUILDING THE GOAL OF THE CAREER
CAMP IS TO ENGAGE HIGH SCHOOL
00:03:33STUDENTS IN THE REGION TO
CONSIDER LOCAL UNIVERSITIES FOR
00:03:37THEIR EDUCATION, AND TO PURSUE
CAREERS WITH ONE OF MANY
00:03:41INNOVATIVE AND DYNAMIC COMPANIES
RIGHT HERE IN SOUTHWEST OHIO.
00:03:45THE CAREER CONNECTIONS, GOING
DIGITAL, LEARN TO LEARN, AND
00:03:50EMPLOYMENT FIRST PARTS OF THIS
BILL AND THE INTERLINED PROGRAM
00:03:55REALLY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER
NICELY IN EXPOSING STUDENTS TO
00:03:59CAREERS AND ALIGNING EDUCATION
AND THE BUSINESS WORLD SO THAT
00:04:04STUDENTS ARE BETTER PREPARED
FOR EMPLOYMENT.
00:04:06AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO
ASK GOVERNOR KASICH TO COME UP
00:04:11AND SHARE HIS REMARKS.
THANK YOU.
00:04:13[APPLAUSE]
>> THE FIRST THING IS, WE HAVE,
00:04:22OF COURSE, TOM NIEHAUS IS HERE,
PEGGY LEHNER, JOEL STEBELTON, --
00:04:28YOU WILL HEAR FROM THEM.
PETER STAUTBERG IS HERE.
00:04:31RON MAGGIE, WHERE IS WRONG?
THEY'RE ALL SITTING TOGETHER --
00:04:38RON MAAG, WHERE IS HE?
THEY'RE ALL SITTING TOGETHER.
00:04:46YOU SHOULD BE SEPARATED.
[LAUGHTER]
00:04:47NONE OF THESE THINGS WOULD BE
DONE WITHOUT YOUR FRIENDS IN
00:04:54THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
CHAIRWOMAN OF THE SENATE
00:04:56EDUCATION COMMITTEE, WITHOUT
THEIR WORK AND COOPERATION AND
00:05:00STRONG SUPPORT.
WE WOULD NOT HAVE SUCH A
00:05:02FANTASTIC BILL IN FRONT OF US
TODAY.
00:05:04AND OF COURSE, TOM NIEHAUS, AND
HIS WIFE, AMALIE.
00:05:08WHO IS YOUR GRANDSON?
MICHAEL.
00:05:14STAND UP AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A
ROUND OF APPLAUSE, MICHAEL.
00:05:16[APPLAUSE]
LOOK, THIS BILL IS FANTASTIC.
00:05:22WITH EDUCATION REFORM SOMETIMES
IT IS DIFFICULT TO AVOID BEING
00:05:28FRUSTRATED BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A
HARD ROAD TO GET THE KIND OF
00:05:34EDUCATIONAL REFORM WE NEED IN
OUR STATE AND COUNTRY.
00:05:37WHEN 40% OF OUR ENTERING
FRESHMEN UNIVERSITIES ARE IN
00:05:4511TH AND 12TH GRADE REMEDIAL
PROGRAMS, THAT IS A PRESCRIPTION
00:05:46FOR FAILURE FOR THOSE WHO GO TO
SCHOOL.
00:05:50THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO CHANGE --
A HIGH DROPOUT RATE AT THE
00:05:55UNIVERSITIES.
BUT SLOWLY, WE ARE EATING AWAY
00:05:57AT THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE IN
THIS STATE AND THERE ARE MANY
00:05:59REASONS TO BE EXCITED.
FIRST, BESIDES THIS PROGRAM,
00:06:03WHICH IS ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT
KIDS TO REAL JOBS, WE'RE ABLE TO
00:06:08WITH THE WORK OF PEGGY AND JERRY
AND THE CROSS AND MY STAFF, WE
00:06:14OUGHT -- DICK ROSS AND MY STAFF,
WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE A THIRD
00:06:18GRADE READING PROGRAM.
IN THE EARLY YEARS, KIDS HAVE TO
00:06:22LEARN TO READ, BECAUSE IN THE
LATER YEARS, THEY HAVE TO READ
00:06:25TO LEARN.
IF YOU CANNOT READ, YOU MIGHT AS
00:06:27WELL FORGET IT.
AS KIDS MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH
00:06:31SOCIAL PROMOTION BEYOND THE
THIRD GRADE, WHEN THEY GET UP TO
00:06:34THE EIGHTH, NINTH, 10TH GRADE --
YOU THINK DALE BARNARD JR.
00:06:39COMPLAINS ABOUT BEING LAUGHED,
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE
00:06:41KIDS.
-- DALE EARNHARDT JR. COMPLAINED
00:06:44ABOUT BEING LAPPED, THAT IS WHAT
HAPPENS TO THESE KIDS.
00:06:49WE HAVE REACHED AN AGREEMENT
THAT IS FAIR AND FORWARD-
00:06:54LOOKING.
NO ONE SHOULD BE SURPRISED.
00:06:56WE WILL NOT LAY ANY WILL BACK IN
THE THIRD GREAT IF YOU CANNOT
00:07:00READ, UNLESS WE HAVE -- HOLD
BACK IN THE THIRD GREAT IF YOU
00:07:03CANNOT READ, UNLESS WE HAVE
INTERVENED AGGRESSIVELY AND
00:07:07PERHAPS WE WILL FIGURE OUT A WAY
EVEN IN THE EARLIER YEARS TO
00:07:10BRING OUT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE
NEED SO THEY CAN LEARN HOW TO
00:07:14READ.
NO ONE SHOULD USE THE THIRD
00:07:16GRADE READING GUARANTEE AS
SOMETHING PUNITIVE.
00:07:19IT IS REALLY FANTASTIC.
UNTIL YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU NEED
00:07:22TO DO, WE DO NOT WANT TO PUSH
AHEAD AND PUSH YOU DEEPER INTO
00:07:25THE WOODS WHEN YOU CANNOT FIGURE
YOUR WAY OUT.
00:07:28THANK YOU, PEGGY ANN GERRIE, FOR
WHAT YOU HAVE DONE HERE.
00:07:31-- PEGGY AND JERRY, FOR WHAT YOU
HAVE DONE HERE.
00:07:36THIS IS A DIGITAL LEARNING FOR
THE FUTURE.
00:07:42I PREDICT IN MY LIFETIME WE WILL
HAVE MORE AND MORE SCHOOL
00:07:45DISTRICTS THAT WILL PERMIT KIDS
TO LEARN AT THEIR OWN PACE AND
00:07:48IN THEIR OWN SPACE.
WE WILL GET THEM IN A POSITION
00:07:51WHERE THEY'RE MOST COMFORTABLE
WITH THEIR DIGITAL DEVICES --
00:07:55WHICH IS KIND OF SHOCKING THAT
WE EVER HAD AN I.T. CHALLENGE IN
00:07:59THIS STATE.
MY KIDS, THEY ARE 12.
00:08:01I JUST GOT AN E-MAIL FROM ONE OF
THEM LAST NIGHT.
00:08:05THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE WITH
THESE DEVICES.
00:08:09AND THE ABILITY OF A STUDENT IN
THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO WORK OUT
00:08:13A FLEXIBLE WAY FOR THESE KIDS TO
LEARN, THAT IS THE FUTURE.
00:08:15WE WILL GET TO THE POINT WHERE
ONLINE EARNINGS -- ONLINE
00:08:19LEARNING IS GOING TO BE THE
ORDER OF THE DAY.
00:08:24TEACHERS RULES WILL CHANGE TO
THE POINT WHERE THEIR COACHES
00:08:27RATHER THAN JUST TEACHERS.
BECAUSE THE ON-LINE CURRICULUM,
00:08:31THE ONLINE CAPABILITY WILL
EXCITED KIDS IN A WAY IN WHICH
00:08:35THEY UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN A
PART OF -- IN WHICH THEY
00:08:39UNDERSTAND.
THIS HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS
00:08:40BILL AND I DO NOT KNOW IF ANYONE
KNOWS IT HAS BEEN IN IT, BUT IT
00:08:46IS AS COOL AS IT CAN BE CURED OF
CONNECTING THEIR CHILDREN TO
00:08:49THEIR CAREER CONNECTIONS.
-- AS IT CAN BE PUREED
00:08:53CONNECTING OUR CHILDREN TO THEIR
CAREER CONNECTIONS.
00:08:55-- AS IT CAN BE.
CONNECTING OUR CHILDREN TO THEIR
00:09:01CAREERS.
HAVE YOU EVER ASK YOUR SON OR
00:09:04GRANDSON WHAT THEY WANT TO BE
AND THEY SAY, I WANT TO BE A
00:09:09BASEBALL PLAYER?
I USED TO SAY, WELL, DEL.
00:09:14NOW I SAY, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
WHEN YOU RETIRE FROM -- WELL,
00:09:18DON'T.
NOW I SAY, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
00:09:21WHEN YOU RETIRE FROM THE MAJOR
LEAGUES?
00:09:23YOU CAN SAY, HOW WOULD YOU DO
THAT?
00:09:27MOM AND DAD'S KANKA WENT TO
SCHOOL.
00:09:30KIDS CAN WRITE ESSAYS.
WE CAN HAVE -- MOM AND DAD'S CAN
00:09:34GO INTO THE SCHOOL.
KIDS CAN WRITE AS AIDS.
00:09:36-- WRITE ESSAYS.
INSTEAD OF THEM TRYING TO FIGURE
00:09:42OUT WHAT THEY WANT TO BE WHEN
THEY'RE 22 YEARS OLD, THEY OUGHT
00:09:45TO BE THINKING ABOUT IT AT A
YOUNG AGE.
00:09:48AND IT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE 2,
3, 4, FIVE TIMES.
00:09:53BUT IT IS EXCITING, THE IDEA
THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY GOING TO
00:09:56INTRODUCE TO THEM A CHANCE
WHERE WE CAN HELP THEM TO FILL
00:10:02THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS BY
GETTING THEM EXCITED.
00:10:05I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE THAT THE
GOOD LORD PLANTS WITHIN EACH OF
00:10:09US A CERTAIN SOMETHING THAT
GIVES US A DIRECTION AS TO HOW
00:10:13WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PARTICIPATE
IN OUR PROFESSIONAL LIVES.
00:10:15THE EARLIER WE FIND IT, THE MORE
WE WILL BE RIVETED TOWARD
00:10:19LEARNING THE KINDS OF THINGS IN
ACADEMICS THAT CAN HELP US
00:10:22ACHIEVE OUR GREAT GOALS.
THIS IS ANOTHER PART OF THIS
00:10:27BILL.
WE HAVE STOLEN AN IDEA FROM
00:10:29GEORGIA.
IT'S CALLED THE OHIO RIGHT TO
00:10:34LEARN.
IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED, YOU CAN GO
00:10:36TO WORK AT FIFTH THIRD.
FOR A TIME, THE STATE OF OHIO
00:10:40WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
WORKERS' COMP IS COVERED.
00:10:43AND KEVIN, IF YOU'RE SOMEBODY
WHO HAS BEEN RECENTLY
00:10:49UNEMPLOYED, OR UNEMPLOYED FOR A
WHILE, WHO HAVE SKILLS, LET
00:10:53THEM COME AND WORK THERE.
THEY CAN BECOME FAMILIAR WITH
00:10:58YOUR COMPANY AND YOU CAN BE
PROTECTED THE ENDS ANY INJURIES
00:11:02THAT MAY OCCUR AT THE WORKPLACE.
IT GIVES PEOPLE A SECOND CHANCE
00:11:05TO GET A JOB BY GETTING IN WHERE
PEOPLE ARE WHO ARE THE DECISION
00:11:11MAKERS.
AT THE SAME TIME, IT ALLOWS THEM
00:11:13TO BE PRODUCTIVE.
WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?
00:11:17WHAT THESE FOLKS HAVE PUT
TOGETHER IS GREAT.
00:11:20EMPLOYMENT FIRST IS A VERY BIG
DEAL.
00:11:22AND THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WORK ON
UNEMPLOYMENT FIRST.
00:11:26WHEN THEY ARE OUT THERE IN THE
EVENING WHEN THEY WORK, THEY TRY
00:11:29TO FIGURE OUT THROUGH
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY HOW WE
00:11:33CAN GET PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
DISABLED AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A
00:11:37MORE MEANINGFUL JOB.
IN THE CURRENT PROCESS, IF YOU
00:11:42ARE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED --
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, IT IS JUST SO
00:11:44COOL, BECAUSE I HAVE A FRIEND
WHO I JUST SAW THE OTHER DAY, A
00:11:49BIG BUSINESSMAN IN COLUMBUS.
HE HAS A GRANDSON WHO HAS SEVERE
00:11:55DISABILITIES.
WHAT THIS SAYS IS, INSTEAD OF A
00:11:59YOUNG PERSON BEING SHUTTLED OFF
TO A SHELTERED WORKSHOP, --
00:12:04NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM OR THE
SHELTERED WORKSHOP, BUT THAT IS
00:12:09THE DEFAULT MODE.
WHAT WE WANT TO SAY IS THAT THE
00:12:15KIDS CAN COME AND WORK AT FIFTH
THIRD AND BE INVOLVED IN SOME OF
00:12:18THE JOBS THAT WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE FOR THEM, OR AT
00:12:21KROGER AT -- OR AT SAN JAUSS,
AND THEY CAN BE INVOLVED IN THE
00:12:25PROGRAM INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE
SHELTER OF THE WORKSHOP AND GET
00:12:34TWO THINGS.
THEY GET MORE SECURITY AND THEY
00:12:38GET SKILLS.
I SEE THE BOARD SMILING AT THE
00:12:43FACT THAT WE WILL TAKE THOSE
WITH DISABILITIES AND GIVE THEM
00:12:45A CHANCE TO BE WHAT THEY WERE
CREATED -- CREATED TO BE.
00:12:48THE ALLIANCE IS RIGHT IN STEP
WITH OUR EFFORTS TO TRY TO GET
00:12:55BUSINESSES TO FORECAST SO WE CAN
HAVE A MORE FLEXIBLE FACADEMIC
00:13:04ENVIRONMENT SO THAT KIDS CAN GET
JOBS.
00:13:06THIS IS ALL ABOUT CONNECTING
THEM SO THAT THEY CAN SEE THEIR
00:13:09FUTURE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PIECE OF
00:13:11LEGISLATION, IT IS FANTASTIC.
AND I HAVE TO THANK JERRY
00:13:17STEBELTON AGAIN, THE CHAIRMAN,
AND I HAVE TO THANK PEGGY
00:13:21LEHNER.
IF THEY BALK AND THEY SAY NO, IT
00:13:23DOES NOT HAPPEN.
IF THEY GET NERVOUS ABOUT
00:13:26LOOKING FORWARD, IT DOES NOT
HAPPEN.
00:13:28NONE OF THAT HAPPENED HERE.
THEY WERE GREAT LEADERS ON THIS.
00:13:32THEY WORKED WITH AS CAREFULLY
AND CLOSELY.
00:13:34WE HAVE OUR UPS AND DOWNS AND
BONDS IN THE ROAD, WHICH IS
00:13:38EXPECTED.
I FEEL LIKE WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN
00:13:42OUR STATE, OUR LEADERSHIP, THE
MEMBERS HERE ARE TRULY PUTTING
00:13:46KIDS FIRST.
DICK ROSS, THE OLD SUPERINTENDED
00:13:53YOU IS WITH ME, HE SAID, YOU
KNOW, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE BOYS
00:13:56AND GIRLS.
IT IS NOT ABOUT THE ADULTS IN
00:13:59THE SCHOOLS.
IT IS ABOUT THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
00:14:01THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
AND OHIO IS LEADING THE WAY IN A
00:14:05NUMBER OF AREAS.
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
00:14:09WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY, AND WE
00:14:13SHOULD ALL BE EXCITED BY THE
LEADERSHIP BEING SHOWN IN OUR
00:14:16STATE TO GIVE OUR CHILDREN ALL
THE CHANCES THAT THEY DESERVE.
00:14:20WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO, SENATOR
NIEHAUS.
00:14:23[APPLAUSE]
>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR.
00:14:31THE GOVERNOR HAS DONE A GREAT
JOB OF SUMMARIZING SOME OF THE
00:14:34KEY ASPECTS OF THE BILL, BUT DO
NOT FORGET THAT IT TOOK THE
00:14:37VISION OF THE GOVERNOR TO GET
THIS STARTED.
00:14:39AND IN WORKING WITH HIS TEAM,
WORKING WITH THE LEGISLATURE TO
00:14:45BRING THIS TO FRUITION.
WE HAVE TALKED A LITTLE BIT
00:14:48TODAY ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
IN COLUMBUS.
00:14:50BUT FRANKLY, THE REAL WORK
STARTS NOW, AND THE REAL WORK
00:14:54STARTS OVER HERE.
I WANT TO APPLAUD YOU FOR HAVING
00:14:57A CURIOSITY TO TRY SOMETHING
DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, TO REACH
00:15:00OUT AND SAY, WHAT CAN I DO WITH
THE FUTURE.
00:15:03BUT WE CANNOT DO ANY MORE THAN
PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY.
00:15:07IT IS NOW UP TO YOU TO ACCEPT
THAT CHALLENGE, TO LOOK AT WHAT
00:15:12THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE COMING TO
WORK WITH GREAT COMPANIES LIKE
00:15:15IT THIRD TO MY WORK WITH OTHER
COMPANIES THAT ARE PART OF THE
00:15:18CINCINNATI ALLIANCE AND ARE
STEPPING UP AND SAYING, WE WANT
00:15:23TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO GET
INVOLVED.
00:15:25LIKE THE GOVERNOR MENTIONED, I
HAVE A GRANDSON HERE TODAY.
00:15:30HOPEFULLY HE WILL HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
00:15:33HE IS INTERESTED IN.
WHEN I WAS YOUNG, WE HAD A
00:15:37PROGRAM CALLED JUNIOR
ACHIEVEMENT.
00:15:40IT TAUGHT YOU HOW TO RUN A
BUSINESS, BUT IT ALSO INTRODUCED
00:15:44YOU TO BUSINESS AND GIVE YOU AN
IDEA OF WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO
00:15:46DO FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE
00:15:49INTEREST AND FOR STEPPING UP AND
GETTING INVOLVED AND TRYING TO
00:15:53DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
I WISH YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS AS
00:15:58YOU WORK THROUGH THESE
OPPORTUNITIES AND MOVE ON TO A
00:16:01PROFESSIONAL CAREER.
WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
00:16:04PEGGY LEHNER, AND THANK SENATOR
JONES FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS
00:16:09EDUCATION PROPOSAL.
WITHOUT THEM, WORKING CLOSELY
00:16:12WITH JERRY AND HIS TEAM IN THE
HOUSE, WE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS
00:16:16OPPORTUNITY.
PEGGY LEHNER.
00:16:19[APPLAUSE]
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:16:24I AM REALLY ABSOLUTELY THRILLED
TO BE HERE TODAY.
00:16:27I WANT TO THANK THE GOVERNOR FOR
GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO
00:16:32CARRY THIS LEGISLATION IN THE
SENATE.
00:16:34WE HEAR A LOT THAT WE REALLY DO
NOT NEED EDUCATION REFORM.
00:16:40WE ARE DOING JUST FINE.
AND I DO HEAR THAT ALMOST EVERY
00:16:44DAY.
BUT I PICK UP THE PAPER AND I
00:16:46READ SOMETHING LIKE I JUST SAW
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT
00:16:49ABSOLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY.
75% OF OUR KIDS 18-24 ARNOT --
00:16:55ARE INELIGIBLE ARETO SERVE IN TE
U.S. MILITARY.
00:17:01GOVERNOR, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE
NOT HEARD THAT.
00:17:03IT WAS A STUDY DONE BY
CONDOLEEZZA RICE.
00:17:0675% ARE INELIGIBLE EITHER
BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PASS THE
00:17:15PHYSICAL, OR THEY HAVE A
CRIMINAL RECORD, OR 50% OF THEM
00:17:18CANNOT PASS THE BASIC MATH AND
READING TESTS REQUIRED TO SERVE
00:17:23IN THE U.S. MILITARY.
THAT IS A FRIGHTENING STATISTIC
00:17:27TO ME.
WE TALK A LOT ABOUT WORKPLACE
00:17:29DEVELOPMENT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT ONE OF THE MOST
00:17:33BASIC STEPS, OF BASIC WAYS FOR
PEOPLE TO STEP FORWARD IN LIFE,
00:17:38TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY AND GET
THEIR FIRST JOB AND FIRST BIT OF
00:17:41TRAINING.
EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY IS AT
00:17:43A CRISIS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS WE
00:17:46HAVE ARRIVED AT WHERE WE ARE.
THE GOVERNOR REFERRED TO THE
00:17:52FUTURE OF BLENDED LEARNING.
PART OF THE PROBLEM IS WE ARE IN
00:17:56A TRANSITION.
WE ARE CHANGING FROM ONE WAY OF
00:17:58LEARNING TO A WHOLE NEW WAY OF
LEARNING, AND I THINK SOME HAVE
00:18:01BEEN LEFT BEHIND.
THIS LEGISLATION IS THE
00:18:05BEGINNING OF A MAJOR EDUCATION
REFORM IN THE STATE OF OHIO.
00:18:09IT IS NOT THE END.
.
00:18:11IT IS THE BEGINNING.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK
00:18:15ABOUT THE THIRD GRADE
GUARANTEED.
00:18:17AND THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT IS
THIS MENAPACE -- THE
00:18:22CENTERPIECE OF THIS LEGISLATION.
THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN HERE,
00:18:25AS THE GOVERNOR ALLUDED TO, THAT
DID NOT GET THE SAME KIND OF
00:18:28PROPER -- KIND OF ATTENTION,
PERHAPS, THAN OTHER PIECES HAVE.
00:18:34WE NEED TO BE LOOKING FURTHER
DOWN THE ROAD AT HOW WE EVALUATE
00:18:39OUR SCHOOLS, WHAT REQUIREMENTS
REPORT ON OUR SCHOOLS, HOW WE
00:18:47ENGAGE AND TRAIN OUR TEACHERS.
WHAT DOES THE TO BE IN A DIGITAL
00:18:53CLASSROOM?
THERE'S A LOT NEED -- A LOT MORE
00:18:55TO COME.
I AM SENSING THERE'S A GROWING
00:18:59RECOGNITION OF THIS NEED TO
REFORM EDUCATION IN OUR STATE,
00:19:03AND LOTS OF PARTNERS ARE COMING
ALONGSIDE US.
00:19:05AND CERTAINLY, THE INSURER
ALLIANZ IS ONE OF THOSE
00:19:08PARTNERS.
-- THE INTERALLIANCE IS ONE OF
00:19:15THOSE.
WHEN I FIRST CAME TO BE HOUSE, I
00:19:19BASICALLY FOUND I WAS ONE OF
THE ONLY PEOPLE FROM OHIO THAT
00:19:24WAS THERE AT THIS CONFERENCE.
WE READ THEIR LAST FALL, AND I
00:19:28THINK THERE WERE SOME 20 OF US
-- WE WERE THERE LAST FALL, AND
00:19:32I THINK THERE WERE SOME 20 OF US
FROM THE STATE OF OHIO THAT WENT
00:19:35OUT TO CALIFORNIA FOR THIS
EDUCATION CONFERENCE.
00:19:37I SEE THAT HAPPENING MORE AND
MORE OFTEN, THIS GROWING ISSUE
00:19:41WITHIN THE LEGISLATURE.
WE HAVE A GOVERNOR THAT IS
00:19:45ABSOLUTELY LEADING THE WAY.
I THINK TODAY IS A GREAT, GREAT
00:19:47DAY FOR THE STATE OF OHIO AND
OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
00:19:51THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
00:19:54WE LOOK FORWARD TO SIGNING.
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MY
00:19:58COLLEAGUE IN THE HOUSE.
[APPLAUSE]
00:20:00>> THANK YOU, PEGGY.
GOVERNOR, IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU
00:20:10AGAIN, AND IT IS GREAT TO BE
HERE AT FIFTH THIRD IN
00:20:13CINCINNATI.
EDUCATION IS FOR YOU.
00:20:17IT IS NOT FOR YOUR TEACHERS.
IT IS NOT FOR THE
00:20:20ADMINISTRATORS.
IT IS NOT FOR YOUR MOM AND DAD.
00:20:22A-12 EDUCATION IS FOR YOU FOLKS,
AND WE ARE GLAD -- K-12
00:20:30EDUCATION IS FOR YOU FOLKS, AND
WE'RE GLAD TO SEE YOU HERE.
00:20:33A LOT OF EDUCATION IN THIS MODEL
HAS BEEN RECYCLED.
00:20:37WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE
HAVE SOMETHING CALLED THE
00:20:40VOCATIONAL/INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM.
AND KIDS THAT I GRADUATED WITH,
00:20:44MAYBE 30 OR 40 IN EACH CLASS,
THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR BASIC
00:20:48REQUIREMENT OUT OF THE WAY AND
THEY WOULD GET TO THEIR JUNIOR
00:20:50AND SENIOR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL
AND WORK HALF A DAY IN A MACHINE
00:20:53SHOP.
OR WHENEVER THE PROGRAM WAS.
00:20:59WHENEVER THE ENTITY WAS IN THE
HOME TOWNS OF WHERE REWORK.
00:21:03AND WE NEEDED A LOT OF
MACHINISTS.
00:21:05AND THEY AREN'T GREAT MONEY, HAD
GREAT JOBS, -- AND THEY EARNED A
00:21:09GREAT MONEY, HAD GREAT JOBS AND
GREAT CAREERS.
00:21:12THOSE DAYS HAD CHANGED.
I.T. DRIVES JUST ABOUT
00:21:15EVERYTHING, AS WE ALL KNOW.
WE HOPE THROUGH THIS BILL THAT
00:21:19WE JUST ADOPTED IN COLUMBUS TO
HELP YOU YOUNG PEOPLE GET A
00:21:22BETTER EDUCATION.
PEGGY TALKED ABOUT REFORM.
00:21:31EVERYWHERE THAT I GO AND
EVERYWHERE THAT SHE GOES, WE
00:21:34HEAR A LOT ABOUT EDUCATION
REFORM.
00:21:35IT COMES FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES.
SOME OF THEM COME FROM EDUCATORS
00:21:40WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT HOW WE
WILL FUND EDUCATION.
00:21:43AND THAT IS A LEGITIMATE
CONCERN.
00:21:45SOME OF THEM COME FROM THE
STRUCTURE OF EDUCATION, THE
00:21:49CONTENT OF EDUCATION.
AND THE BEAUTY OF WHAT I THINK
00:21:53GOVERNOR KASICH IS DOING NOW IS
HE IS LOOKING AT THIS RATHER
00:21:58HOLISTIC LEAD.
THAT MEANS WE ARE NOT JUST
00:22:00LOOKING AT ONE ELEMENT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WHOLE
00:22:04PICTURE.
WE WILL DO THAT IN MUCH THE SAME
00:22:07WAY WE PUT TOGETHER A JIGSAW
PUZZLE.
00:22:09WE DO IT PIECE BY PIECE.
THIS IS ONE PIECE.
00:22:12WE WILL BE LOOKING AS WE GO
FORWARD, AND THE GOVERNOR AND
00:22:16PEGGY AND I HAD A VERY COMMERCE
-- VERY BRIEF CONVERSATION JUST
00:22:21A FEW MINUTES AGO.
WE WILL BE LOOKING AT REFORMING
00:22:26SCHOOL FUNDING NEXT YEAR IN THE
BUDGET.
00:22:28TO THAT END, WE WILL BE LOOKING
THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER IN THE
00:22:34HOUSE COMMITTEE OF EDUCATION AND
FINANCE, WILL BE LOOKING AT
00:22:37MODELS AND IDEAS COMING FROM THE
GENERAL PUBLIC.
00:22:40THIS BILL IS A STARTING POINT.
IT IS A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
00:22:43BUT WE HAVE A LARGER PUZZLE TO
PUT TOGETHER, AND WITH THE
00:22:48SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNOR AND WITH
THE SUPPORT OF THE SENATE WILL
00:22:50DO THAT AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF
THE PEOPLE OF OHIO, WE WILL HAVE
00:22:54A BETTER EDUCATION PROGRAM.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
00:22:59AND THANK YOU, FIFTH THIRD, FOR
HAVING US HERE TODAY.
00:23:01[APPLAUSE]
>> GOOD MORNING.
00:23:09MY NAME IS DOUG ARTHUR.
I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE THE
00:23:16DIRECTOR OF THE GREATER
ALLIANCE.
00:23:20IN 2004, THE INTERNATIONAL I.T.
SERVICES FIRM THAT IS THE LEAD
00:23:24I.T. INTEGRATOR FOR THE
OLYMPICS, ASKED ME TO FIND WAYS
00:23:32TO CONNECT ATOS BETTER WITH THE
KENNEDY IN CINCINNATI AND WITH
00:23:39THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THAT
COMMUNITY.
00:23:41-- WITH THE COMMUNITY IN
CINCINNATI AND WITH AGAIN PEOPLE
00:23:45IN THAT COMMUNITY.
THEY OPERATE SERVICE DESK FOR
00:23:51COMPANIES LIKE SIEMENS, COCA-
COLA, AND NIKE.
00:23:54AND THEY CONTINUED THEIR LEGACY
AS PROCTER AND GAMBLE'S PRIMARY
00:23:58TECHNICAL AGENCY 40 PAMPERS
BRAND.
00:24:02SINCE 1990 HAVE BEEN DOING THAT.
BUT THE BRAIN DRAIN AMONG YOUNG
00:24:10TECHNOLOGY TALENT IS WELL
DOCUMENTED.
00:24:13IN 2005, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
CREDITED CINCINNATI OF HAVING
00:24:19THE WORST ACCIDENTS OF 19-30-
YEAR-OLD'S IN THE NATION.
00:24:24WHEN ATOS ASKED ME TO CONNECT
THEM TO THE PIPELINE OF YOUNG
00:24:30TALENT, I WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY
OF CINCINNATI.
00:24:33I DISCOVERED A SERIES THE DISK
-- A DECLINING STUDENT
00:24:36ENROLLMENT IN I.T., A COMPUTER
SCIENCE, AND INFORMATION
00:24:39SYSTEMS.
WHEN I LOOKED AROUND, I FOUND
00:24:42THE PROBLEM WAS NOT UNIQUE TO
THAT UNIVERSITY.
00:24:46DESPITE SOLID PROGRAMS AND QUITE
TERRIFIC FACULTY, THERE WERE
00:24:49DECLINING ENROLLMENTS IN STEM
RELATED CAREERS PLAGUING JUST
00:24:53ABOUT EVERY COLLEGE AND
UNIVERSITY IN THE REGION.
00:24:56MIAMI, IN CASE YOU, AND DEAVERE
WRIGHT STATE, UNIVERSITY OF
00:25:01DAYTON, THEY ALL WERE SUFFERING
FROM THE SAME FLIGHT.
00:25:05AND WITH THE U.S. HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS RANKED ONLY 16TH IN THE
00:25:11WORLD IN SCIENCE, AND 25TH IN
THE WORLD IN MATH, WE DECIDED WE
00:25:15NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I REACHED OUT TO A DOCTOR AT UC
00:25:22AND MR. TONY SALDANA, IS NOW IN
CHARGE OF -- DIRECTOR OF
00:25:32OPERATIONS AT PROCTOR AND
GAMBLE, AND WE DECIDED TO SOLVE
00:25:35THE PROBLEM OF THE BRAIN DRAIN.
WE DECIDED OUR FIRST EVENT
00:25:38SHOULD BE AN I.T. CAREERS CAMP.
AND WE INVITED THE THIRD BANK,
00:25:44TOYOTA, AND CHIQUITA IN 2006.
WE SELECTED 40 TOP STUDENTS FROM
00:25:49SIX TOP HIGH SCHOOL AND TOOK
THEM ON HER VERY FIRST ROLLER-
00:25:52COASTER RIDE AT LOCAL EMPLOYERS,
WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO
00:25:57TECHNOLOGY-BASED PROBLEM SOLVED
AND LOOK AT FUTURE EMPLOYERS.
00:26:05SIX YEARS LATER, WE HAVE GROWN
TO INCLUDE 73 HIGH SCHOOLS AND
00:26:09FOUR UNIVERSITIES.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF
00:26:12THE PUZZLE IS THE EMPLOYERS.
SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF THE BRAIN
00:26:16DRAIN FOR EMPLOYERS REQUIRES
ACTIVE PARTICIPATION BY THE
00:26:20EMPLOYERS.
AND THAT IS WHAT INTER-ALLIANCE
00:26:26HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
WE ARE PROUD TO NOW HAVE
00:26:32PARTICIPATION AND SPONSORSHIP
FROM AN INCREDIBLE GROUP OF
00:26:35SPONSOR COMPANIES, INCLUDING
GREAT AMERICAN INSURANCE, GEE,
00:26:41KROGER, CINCINNATI BELL
TECHNOLOGIES SOLUTIONS,
00:26:45CITIBANK, ALEXIS, NEXUS,
KNOWLEDGE WORKS, SAP, SCRIPPS
00:26:50HOWARD FOUNDATION, TIER ONE, PRO
SAOIRSE, MR. CONSTRUCTION, BLUE
00:27:00SPRINGS SOFTWARE, ROCK FISH
INTERACTIVE, CENTRE CONSULTING,
00:27:05CINCINNATI INSURANCE, VERIZON,
IBM, CENTCOM, DELL, CISCO, A
00:27:11FIRST GROUP, MULTICOLORED, AND
THE CINCINNATI CIO ROUNDTABLE.
00:27:21ALL EMPLOYERS WHO WANT TO HIRE
THEM.
00:27:23AND WHILE THE EMPLOYERS ARE THE
FUEL, THE TARGET CUSTOMERS ARE
00:27:32THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES.
IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE
00:27:34YOU TO ONE OF THOSE CUSTOMERS
RIGHT NOW.
00:27:37MAEGAN TOLD IS A 2012 GRADUATE
OF MOTHER OF MERCY HIGH SCHOOL
00:27:42ABOUT TO START HER COLLEGE
CAREER AS AN INFORMATION SYSTEMS
00:27:46MAJOR AT THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

00:27:49SHE IS NOT ONLY RECIPIENTS OF

PLEASE WELCOME A SUCCESS STORY
00:28:10IN THE MAKING, MS. MAEGAN POPE.
[APPLAUSE]
00:28:13>> THANK YOU, DOUG.
GOOD MORNING.
00:28:21MY NAME IS MEGYN POPE I'M A
GRADUATE OF MOTHER OF MERCY HIGH
00:28:26SCHOOL.
I AM EXCITED TO START MY
00:28:32EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CINCINNATI COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
00:28:34THIS FALL.
IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE
00:28:40EXPERIENCES OFFERED TO ME BY
THIS WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION THAT
00:28:43I GOT THE CHANCE TO DISCOVER MY
OWN PASSION FOR USING
00:28:47TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS IN BUSINESS AND REALIZE
00:28:52THE HUGE SCOPE AVAILABLE TO ME
TO INNOVATE RIGHT HERE IN MY
00:28:56HOMETOWN.
I STARTED WITH THE INJURED --
00:28:59ALLIANCE WHEN I WAS A 10TH
GRADER BY ATTENDING THE 2010
00:29:06EVENT.
I LEFT WITH A BURNING DESIRE TO
00:29:09DO MORE AND DID -- AND SIGNED A
TO THE 2010 I.T. CAREER CAMP.
00:29:13LET ME TELL YOU, IT WAS ABOUT
THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE I
00:29:17COULD IMAGINE.
I WAS PUT ON A TEAM WITH
00:29:20INCREDIBLE STUDENTS FROM FOUR
OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS, STUDENTS,
00:29:23I'D NEVER MET BEFORE.
AND I WAS ASSIGNED THE JOB OF
00:29:28BEING PROJECT MANAGER FOR OUR
TEAM.
00:29:31IF WE SOLVE PROBLEMS TOGETHER,
EXPLORE TECHNOLOGY TOGETHER,
00:29:34VISITED BUSINESSES TOGETHER, AND
THE FIVE OF US BECAME GOOD
00:29:36FRIENDS.
LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT BEING A
00:29:40PROJECT MANAGER WOULD TURN INTO
ONE OF MY FUTURE CAREER GOALS.
00:29:42I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE AND
DODGERS HE FIRSTHAND HOW I.T.
00:29:48WAS USED EVERY DAY -- AND GOT TO
SEE FIRSTHAND HOW I.T. WOULD USE
00:29:53EVERY DAY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
I LEARNED TO USE MY OWN PERSONAL
00:29:57BRAND OF LEADERSHIP AND MY
COMFORT WITH TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE
00:29:59A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
THE EXPERIENCE CHANGED ME
00:30:03FOREVER AND IN JUST A SHORT WEEK
OF WAS THERE, MY DESIRE TO WORK
00:30:06HARD THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND
COLLEGE WAS FUELLED BY THE
00:30:10VISION OF WHAT MIGHT FUTURE
CAREER COULD LOOK LIKE.
00:30:13AND THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
THROUGH INTER-ALLIANCE I GOT A
00:30:18CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN A
PROGRAM CALLED THREE GENERATIONS
00:30:22OF WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY WHERE I
WAS MENTORED BY WOMEN AND WAS
00:30:27ABLE TO MENTOR A THIRD GRADE
GIRL.
00:30:30I GOT TO HELP THEM PRODUCE
AMAZING TECHNOLOGY EVENTS, LIKE
00:30:39TECH JAM 2011, AND THE TECH
OLYMPICS EXPO 2012.
00:30:42I GUESS I SHOWED ENOUGH PROMISE
AS A LEADER, BECAUSE THIS LAST
00:30:48FALL, KNOWLEDGE WORKS AWARDED ME
INTERJECT -- AND INTERNSHIPS AT
00:30:55THE CAREER READINESS PROGRAM
HAD GILBERT DAVIS HIGH SCHOOL.
00:30:59AND NOW THE SUMMER, AND GETTING
TO LIVE THE DREAM HAS A PAID
00:31:02I.T. IN TURN ADD G AVIATION
BEFORE I EVEN START COLLEGE.
00:31:06THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE
INTERLININGS IS THE KIND OF
00:31:12PROGRAM THAT CHANGES LIVES.
-- INTER-ALLIANCE IS BEGUN A
00:31:17PROGRAM THAT CHANGES LIVES.
THE INTERNATIONAL LIONS OPENED
00:31:21DOORS FOR ME AND INTRODUCED ME
TO PROFESSIONALS THAT HELPED TO
00:31:28SET ME ON A PATH THAT WILL
BENEFIT ME FOR THE REST OF MY
00:31:30LIFE.
I HOPE THAT EVERY STUDENT AT
00:31:33MOTHER OF MERCY HIGH SCHOOL, AND
EVERY STUDENT AT EVERY HIGH
00:31:36SCHOOL IN CINCINNATI, CAN GET
THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I
00:31:39GOT TO EXPERIENCE.
CARING ADULTS MAKING SURE THAT
00:31:42WE STUDENTS HAVE ALL OF THE
INFORMATION AND OPPORTUNITIES WE
00:31:47NEED TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES FOR
OUR FUTURE.
00:31:50THANK YOU TO GOVERNOR KASICH,
AND TO THE LEGISLATURE, FOR
00:31:55SUPPORTING SENATE BILL 316.
IT IS THE KIND OF BILL THAT WILL
00:31:58HELP DREAM COME TRUE FOR

[APPLAUSE]
00:34:55I THOUGHT THAT MAKING -- MAEGAN

00:35:14YOU THOUGHT -- YOU HEARD WHAT
SHE SAID.
00:35:16ONCE SHE UNDERSTOOD WHAT SHE WAS
