Description
We began the dialogue in 2013 to create a bridge between industry and education in order to create a workforce that meets the needs of businesses. The great work continues in 2019! We continue to discuss partnership models that are effective. We are taking a look at the current changes in schools, discussing how industry can provide effective feedback, and calling for action!
