Governors Report on Economic Growth and Competitivenes Agenda For California

Report by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom

"Despite California’s strong system of public higher education and the superior talent it attracts and produces at the highest levels, the state remains unable to effectively educate and train a workforce skilled enough for the Next Economy, leaving positions unfilled in the midst of record-high unemployment."

"In other words, urban vigor and metropolitan regions determine economic vigor. The global economy is increasingly driven by the competition between and collaboration among an international web of high performing, interconnected metropolitan areas and regions, each serving as the resource base for powerful clusters of enterprises."

"Most of its cities and regions, however, suffer from having been shaped by the policies and practices of the industrial economy. They are, in many ways, ill equipped to meet the fast-moving, mobile demands of the innovative, eco-efficient and export intensive next one. The key to delivering the Next Economy is to nurture and tap into the unique potential of each region and its clusters of business. And that requires re-thinking and re-calibrating public policy across many dimensions."

The goals for my curriculum align with the State of California's goal to promote a high-growth entrepreneurial initiative and leverage non-governmental supports.

"• Launch a “Startup California” initiative within 180 days, building on the existing Startup America Partnership platform. Secure commitments from California firms, intermediaries, and philanthropies to provide financial and in-kind resources.

• Expand the new partnership agreement between the California Small Business Development Network and California State University to include the University of California and California Community College systems."

As many of the careers in entertainment, performance, design and writing are entrepreneurial in nature, my lesson plans will be designed with the idea in mind that my students will open their own small business after graduation or, go to work in a small business that require today's employees to bring many skills to their team.

Hello and Welcome,

My name is Rudolf Strukoff but Mr Rudy is how my students and collegues refer to me.

This site, "AskMrRudy.com was originally built as part of a methods course for an assignment using technology to communicat with students and teachers.

Now that I am completing the CTE Program, I will add to and adjust this doman name and site by ammending various pages and adding others where necessary, so that my site includes both information on History and Social Sciences and Arts, Media & Entertainment as part of my CTE Certification

In the end, I will use this site as a portfilo of my talents and skills in industry, but most importantly, this site will help administrators determine how I will use these skills in the classroom.

This site will become my eResume, a portfolio of everything I bring to the table as an educator, both in History and Geography, Social Sciences, Economics, Civics , and my CTE Credential in Arts Media and Entertainment as well.

I hope you enjoy learning about me so that you might understand what I could bring to a classroom your campus.

Rudy Strukoff
