Welcome to “Innovation Lives #InTheBerkshires” - an original podcast series produced by BIC Studios in partnership with MassHire Berkshire Workforce Board.  In a region internationally renowned as a destination for its natural beauty and cultural attractions, the phrase “Innovation Lives #InTheBerkshires” is a broad acknowledgement that technology and innovation are also endemic to the Berkshire’s industrial past, present, and future.

Our first installment of the podcast entitled “The Changing Workforce” is a six-episode limited series investigating the evolving landscape of the job market through the stories of firms and workers that makeup the fabric of Berkshire County’s technology-focused sectors.  From AI and the breakneck pace of technological advancement, to the churn in labor markets and rise of emerging industries, the waters are choppy and challenging to navigate for both employers and job seekers.  Episode one of “The Changing Workforce” is a conversation amongst stakeholders in regional workforce and economic development that lays the groundwork for the challenges and opportunities for firms and workers amidst a rapidly evolving landscape.  We sat down with Brenda Burdick from General Dynamics, Ben Sosne from the Berkshire Innovation Center, and James Kupernik from VidMob at our shiny new podcasting suite here at the BIC, to jump feet first into a conversation that impacts everyone in our region.
