There's a new initiative in our community that's designed to get schools and businesses on the same page about what job skills future employees should have. It's called the Business and Education Talent Readiness – or BETR for short. It was started by the Pikes Peak Workforce Center as a way to open up channels of communication between the business world and the classroom.
"We're trying to get business involved with education so that that message of how to be successful in business is propagated through the educational system," explains Director Randy Dalton.
The BETR Project holds Tuesday Tours once a month to take parents and teachers behind the scenes of some of our local businesses.
