Unemployment in Texas is down, business activity is up and by every other metric, we have a good thing going. To continue all of that, we need to build the workforce of the future. We need to make sure we have the right people trained for the right jobs in the right industries, and it all begins with education.

Join The Texas Tribune for a conversation on developing the next Texas workforce, moderated by Texas Tribune co-founder and CEO Evan Smith.

Panelists will include:

  • Judy Koonce, software engineering associate director at Accenture
  • Joe May, chancellor of the Dallas County Community College District
  • Kris Muñoz Vetter, executive director of Year Up Dallas/Fort Worth
