Objective
The Education & Workforce Quality Committee provides services, actionable information and support to Chamber members and business-education partnerships that are working to increase the number of qualified, educated candidates in the region’s workforce. | |
|
|
- The Committee introduces members to public and private innovators that are closing achievement gaps and advancing life-long learning and career success.
- The Chamber provides businesses with access to local, regional and state workforce planning and development initiatives.
- The Illinois College Access Network (IllinoisCAN), sponsored in part by Chase, continues its efforts to build the capacity and effectiveness of college access organizations, including providing professional development and technical assistance for college access practitioners.
- The Chamber participates in ongoing discussions about adequate funding of education and the need for real reform of the property tax/school funding system. The Chamber advocates that improved education quality must come first in order to attract support for a second phase of re-arranging financial support in a manner that is business-friendly.
