A competitive workforce is key for Arizona to thrive in the 21st century. Sustainable economies rely on the creation and retention of jobs filled by a vibrant and robust talent pool. Businesses make decisions to expand, relocate, or remain based on talent availability and training resources. Along with education, a responsive workforce development system with strategies and tools to meet the needs of employers, workers, job seekers, and students is required to fill current and future employment needs.
