The West Valley is booming! Drive around Peoria, Surprise, Buckeye, or any of our wonderful West Valley communities, and you will see a diverse mixture of development projects across our region. With 80% of our Peoria residents commuting to Phoenix or the East Valley for employment, we want to ensure effective avenues are developed to bridge the gap between business and education and keep more of our talent local! Second paragraph: By engaging in effective partnerships with the Peoria Unified School District , numerous higher education partners, and our local businesses, our Education & Workforce Development Committee aims to:
1. Develop opportunities that enhance skillsets and help prepare students to enter the workforce post-graduation.
2. Provide an outlet for businesses to promote their services and help attract talent.
3. Connect students to career experiences that will help answer the question, “What do I want to be when I grow up?” Third paragraph: If you are a member interested in supporting our workforce development initiatives, click the Join button below to help us lead efforts to best connect and develop our workforce.
