The Greater San Marcos Partnership and the San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce are making final preparations to co-host the 2023 State of Education and Workforce Summit.
The event, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 9 will take place at the city of San Marcos Conference Center -Embassy Suites. GSMP Interim President Will Conley said the quality of a community's workforce is an important asset for prospective employers. The Summit is expected to offer a comprehensive look at the workforce and education systems.
“According to the Texas Business Journal, training and apprenticeship programs represent a clear path to unlocking hidden talent, but there’s a less-cost intensive option tweaking longtime processes and practices that could be costing them talent,” said Conley. “That could include increasing workplace flexibility, such as allowing remote or hybrid work to attract more working parents, or rethinking job description.”
