Description

We began the dialogue in 2013 to create a bridge between industry and education in order to form a workforce that meets the needs of businesses. The great work continues in 2024! The Education Symposium is a half-day program where business leaders and educators come together to discuss the current changes in schools, how industry can provide feedback and ways to create a pathway to success.
