The Business & Education Network connects leaders in business with education to better prepare students and create pathways to regional workforce opportunities. This team of people provides support and insight on industry needs of education, and support for the Business2Youth Connect initiatives involving education programs like Math for Life and Find Your Future.
At the Business and Education Network, we also routinely host “Employer Spotlights”. We will continue to invite local educators and businesses to join us and talk about the benefits of the industries that drive our region. We focus on the Career Pathways that the companies or industries offer, and what types of training are required.
Join our meetings in person or virtually (when available): The Business and Education Network meets on the 2nd Friday of each month from 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM.
