Event Description:
Improving the region's economic mobility through employer-education partnerships
Through presentations (and interactive activities) from educators and employers alike, we'll examine why these partnerships matter to an effective workforce development system. And what they look like when they work. The goal is for attendees to leave knowing how to incorporate the available tools and become a more active participant in improving the lives of those moving from student straight to a sustainable career.
