In our region and across Florida, we have more jobs available than jobseekers, and too few applicants are properly qualified — even though these openings are high-wage and high-demand. We hope you'll join us at our Future of Work Summit to explore the solution: Workforce Education.

CLOSING - THEIR FUTURE
A Student’s Story
Workforce education is the solution to filling the gap in industry need and providing students the ability to earn an in-demand credential with high-wage career potential.
Career and Technical Education is a ready-now solution to our workforce crisis. Florida’s leaders must unite with education partners to create awareness and interest in the careers of the future. We are excited to bring together thought leaders in education and industry to help our local business community understand how they can support efforts to produce the workforce of the future.
