Chamber + Education Partners = Quality Workforce For Your Business




Our annual State of Education luncheon is growing and has changed locations. On Friday, March 14th, our luncheon will be held at the Fair View Club at the Washington State Fairgrounds and includes a venue for all our education partners and business employers to interact, learn about internships, ongoing employee recruitment, and connect with our local career and technical advisors.  


We've done the math for our businesses and it all adds up to attending this forum/luncheon.  We'll teach you the principals of using our education partners and the programs they have developed to produce the qualified employees you need for your business to be successful.

This year's program will include two presentation times.  
  • 10:00am -- Attendees will have the opportunity to hear brief presentations from the education partners listed above with plenty of time to interact with local career and technical advisors to learn about the programs that pertain to your workforce needs.
