Small businesses remain in need of employees, particularly in highly skilled positions. While traditional academic institutions play an important role in helping to fill the workforce development gap, they often do not provide adequate job training outside the classroom. To fill the gap, Colorado is embracing new and innovative approaches towards educating young people and creating a school-to-business pipeline. This hearing will explore how schools are changing their priorities to supply a much needed workforce and what policies can help promote these efforts.
