Valley Voices Presents ''Opportunity Arizona: Identifying a Qualified Workforce Through Career & Technical Education''

As Arizona's economy continues to grow, the business community has identified a common theme: Arizona needs a qualified workforce that is prepared to handle the challenges and opportunities facing our great businesses! In the coming years, developing a diverse workforce through multiple pathways—including career and technical education (CTE) programs—will be critical in increasing Arizona's global competitiveness.

This important community conversation will bring awareness to the opportunities for high-earning, highly technical career paths that are available to students and employers, and provide action items to the business community for attracting and retaining the talent that is vital to their success.

Join the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and the Maricopa Association of Governments as we gather the Valley's leading voices and discuss pathways for the business and education communities to work together to strengthen and grow our economy.
