The San Antonio Chamber of Commerce was proud to join the City of San Antonio and business leaders from across the region for the launch of the City’s workforce initiative, Ready to Work. We want to help this effort be successful and grow our community’s economic potential. The best and most successful efforts are those with direct input from industry and employers to specify the education and skills necessary for employee success. That is why were so pleased to learn that the city will be utilizing the US Chamber of Commerce’s approach of Talent Pipeline Management (TPM). We hosted Jaimie M. Francis, vice president of policy and programs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Center for Education and Workforce, to give us a high-level overview of this work during the SA to DC event in March.
Now is your chance to hear from Jaimie Francis and learn about TPM right here in San Antonio. Join City Manager Erik Walsh, along with business and community leaders from across San Antonio for a special briefing on TPM and an opportunity to learn best practices from other communities that have adopted this model on Monday, June 13 from 2 to 4 pm in City Council Chambers.
