Education that meets workplace demands

“The objectives of this grant are extremely important,” said David May, president and CEO of the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce.

“Businesses often have a difficult time connecting with schools. If we want to remain economically competitive, we must do a better job of working collaboratively and effectively with our local school districts to ensure that they are providing an education that meets workplace demands.”

The Metro Denver WIRED Initiative awarded Colorado State University’s School of Education this competitive grant because of its successful experience partnering with businesses to provide enriched career and workforce readiness.

The event contact is Ellyn Dickmann, Associate professor of Educational Leadership at CSU.
