The humble and innovative beginnings of the cable industry in Colorado sparked one of the most important industries in the world. Based on information gleaned from The Cable Center's historical archives, videos, and photographs— plus new interviews with some of today's top industry leaders— we are delighted to share our collaboration with Rocky Mountain PBS on the latest episode of their Colorado Experience docuseries, "The Cable Revolution." Not only does "The Cable Revolution" illustrate the unique story of our industry, but 90% of the episode's visuals were provided by The Cable Center’s director of the Barco Library and archivist, Brian Kenny.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, four million Americans quit their jobs in July 2021, and this trend continues. Management professor Anthony Klotz coined it "The Great Resignation” explaining, "How we spent our time before the pandemic may not be how we want to spend our time after.”
The Great Resignation is hitting companies in the media/telecom/technology industry especially hard, according to Ian Cook, HR strategist. In tech, resignations increased by 4.5%. Even more concerning, resignation rates are highest among mid-career employees between the ages of 30 and 45.

People are looking for a place and a forum to ask questions and get resources so that they can return to their organizations and act as intrapreneurs. Intrapreneurship Academy at The Cable Center is that place.
