Business & Workforce Development
Business Attraction & Retention Committee merges with Education & Workforce Development
Combining the strengths, assets and intellectual capital of the Business Attraction & Retention Committee with the Education & Workforce Development Committee generates greater synergies between the two core missions – attracting and retaining businesses depends upon a 21st century workforce and a 21st century workforce needs a robust economy and 21st century industry sectors! Working together, we anticipate that the outcomes will better support this essential economic development strategy. The Business & Workforce Development Committee meets every third Tuesday of the month, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. at the Greater Irvine Chamber.
Tuesday, December 18, 2018 @ 4:00 p.m. at the Chamber
The holidays are here! We’ll have a little memento for you and a lot to celebrate! So, let’s get together one last time before the end of 2018…
… and then let’s get to work!
- January, 2019 Economic Vitality Council Meeting – We’re planning a little different approach – City of Irvine Department heads will join us for this session, sharing their activities, challenges and opportunities. They’ll get a personal dose of our thoughtful and engaged Committee members and the process we use to manage and mitigate our initiatives.
- Job Discovery Day: The event is gathering steam and the impact of Job Discovery Day for our middle and high school students will be huge! We need company connections and resources.
- Career Edge: Volunteers are needed to mentor at February’s Career Edge workshop – Brian Dozer is our guest instructor for the day and we need your expertise and experiences to help young people become more effective workplace contributors.
Join us!
The Chamber offices will be closed for the holidays from Monday, December 24, 2018 -- Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Have a wonderful, safe Holiday!!
