EL PASO, TX (12 August 2010) — Manpower Inc. (NYSE:MAN), a world leader in innovative workforce solutions, today announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Paso del Norte Group aimed at improving labor and employment services in, and the economic integration and development of, the U.S.-Mexico cross-border Paso del Norte region.
A report done for the Paso del Norte region by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) recommends action by the community to develop a collaborative process; link regional business, industry and educational stakeholders; strive for educational excellence, and foster an environment where entrepreneurs may flourish. This represents a key factor to create the wealth necessary for a sustainable and growing economy.
OECD recommendations and efforts by the Paso del Norte Group’s Education Committee led to a partnership with Manpower International for the development of a supply-and-demand labor analysis and forecast for the region.
Cooperation among the region’s educational institutions, the private sector and governments requires unique and often creative solutions. The talent is here; the roadmap is ready.
