Bridging Education and the Workforce for Strong Communities- Free Local First Az Webinar

Join the Arizona Rural Development Council and the Local First Arizona Foundation for our next webinar:

Bridging Education and the Workforce for Strong Communities

One keystone factor to economic success is a strong workforce and training strategy, however, that process starts well before an applicant enters the field. Workforce training begins in early educational development.

In our next webinar, hear a discussion of four underlying challenges common to the development of many markets, but told through stories of Navajo and Apache county communities and the innovative solutions they applied to address:

1. Slow-to-grow STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) initiatives
2. Lack of high-quality, relevant and engaging professional development
3. Disconnected communities and unshared resources
4. A workforce lacking soft skills.

Attendees of this webinar series will learn:

• Innovative techniques to address common educational and workforce development
• What types of approaches are successfully being implemented throughout rural AZ communities
• How to implement new approach in your community
• Where to find resources to support educational development
