Orange County Business Council and our partners at Ednovate, Legacy College Prep invite you to join us for a panel discussion on the future of workforce development in Orange County. 

Our region's economic competitiveness depends on how well we prepare the next generation to enter the workforce. This OCBC Business Connections program brings together leaders from across the education pipeline to discuss what's working, what's not, and where the business community fits in this effort. Panelists will share on workforce readiness programs and partnerships that are making a measurable difference for students across Orange County.  

Whether you are an employer looking to build a stronger talent pool or an education leader seeking deeper industry engagement, this discussion will offer meaningful opportunities to collaborate with fellow business and education partners. 

This program is free to attend, but space is limited. Registration is required, and once capacity is reached, a waitlist will be formed. We encourage you to register early to secure your seat.
