This is a topic we all can use.  Especially for workforce education, we need ways that we can show employers ROI (return on investment) data. Will this be included?

Also, I don't see the attached draft powerpoint mentioned in the message.

And one other thing, is this being cross-posted to the assessment group?  They would be interested.
