The Gainesville Chamber is pleased to partner with Envision Alachua on the Education Forum - Preparing Our Youth for Future Opportunities: Our Shared Responsibility. The Education Forum is intended to stimulate collaboration between community leaders committed to improving education, economic development and workforce preparedness to better serve Alachua County youth and young adults and prepare them for jobs with the innovation economy.

Together, we will:

Learn about the “innovation economy” and its related opportunities based on the research conducted by Envision Alachua’s Economic Progress Initiative
Examine the current state of education and workforce development in the County
Share best practices happening locally and in other communities
Create an action plan and commitment to move forward
The event will feature presentations by local, regional and national education experts, including our keynote speaker, Dr. Jackson Sasser, President, Santa Fe College, a moderated question and answer session, and facilitated discussion.

The cost for the event is $25 per person, and includes breakfast and lunch.
