Massachusetts Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Suzanne M. Bump is scheduled to meet tomorrow with business, community, and education leaders from Merrimack Valley and Greater Lowell, her office said.

The purpose of the meeting is to "talk about strategies to fill jobs that are in high demand in these regions," her office said.

At the summit, researchers from Northeastern University will present new information on the region’s labor market and the training and education needs of workers, her office added.
