Fort Worth Chamber

Last week, we were proud to host community leaders from small businesses, higher education, and beyond for an impactful discussion on shaping the workforce of tomorrow while addressing the evolving needs of today’s talent. Our annual Build Your Fort Worth event creates a vital connection between the business sector and educational institutions, fostering collaboration on key workforce development initiatives. During the panel discussions, experts emphasized the growing importance of strategic partnerships that prioritize emotional intelligence, hands-on learning, and the flexibility to embrace new technologies and diverse learning approaches. These partnerships are crucial for preparing our current and future workforce to thrive in an ever-changing world. Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, EECU Credit Union and our host, Tarrant County College! #WorkforceDevelopment #Collaboration #BusinessAndEducation #FortWorth #Upskilling #FutureOfWork
