Connecting Leaders In Business
Business & Education Network connects leaders in business and 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, support for the Business2Youth Connect education programs like Math for Life, Find Your Future, and Inspire.
At the Business and Education Network, we have been hosting “Career 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 is required.
