The Workforce Development Committee seeks to develop and strengthen ties between educational institutions and industry to identify skills, support curricula development, and ensure a seamless supply of qualified workers at every employment level. We also support career technical education in the high schools. We advocate for the Education Data System to be expanded to include data on what happens after high school. The Bay Area Council strongly supports including post-secondary education, military, criminal justice, trade school, employment, and social services data into a comprehensive longitudinal data system from preschool into the workforce.
