It may take a village to raise a child, but it apparently takes a collaboration of villages to raise a workforce, based on expert opinions at the Taylor Chamber of Commerce Gear Up For Growth Symposium April 23. The symposium featured panelists focused on how educational institutions can work with businesses and community partners to ensure graduating students can access high-paying career paths.

Stone moderated the panel, joined by Temple College Vice President of Workforce Development DeDe Griffith, Rural Capital Area Workforce Solutions CEO Paul Fletcher and public education advocate Jodi Duron.
