College of Science Dean Danny Horns was one of over 50 innovative speakers at the Utah Business Magazine Economic Outlook Summit held on Nov. 17, 2022, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr. Horns was a panel speaker for the breakout session Higher Education and its Influence on the Employment Market.
Dr. Horns— accompanied by Dr. Brad Winn (Utah State University), Dr. Ravi Krovi (Weber State University), and Dr. Cory Leonard (Brigham Young University) — addressed the issues higher education and the workforce are facing today, including how to build proper skillsets in students and employees.
“There is a difference between job skills and career skills,” Dr. Horns said. “In order for colleges to survive, they need to have input from the workforce on how best to prepare students.”
Over 700 people attended the summit, which aimed to take a deep dive into Utah’s economic landscape in the coming years.
Congratulations, Dean Horns, and thank you for representing the best of higher education!
