Connecting for Employment

This session brings together education, service, and workforce partners to strengthen pathways from school to employment for students. Participants will analyze regional data to identify critical gaps, prioritize the most pressing challenges, and examine where systems break down along the student journey. Building on this shared understanding, the session focuses on connecting challenges to real workforce opportunities and defining targeted strategies that can make an immediate impact. Participants will leave with a clear, actionable plan and a stronger sense of direction for advancing regional collaboration and improving employment outcomes.
