On November 11th, a collaboration of Amarillo EDC, Amarillo ISD and Amarillo College launched PRO – Pursuing Real Opportunities. PRO is a community-wide initiative to develop a more skilled local workforce. Initially, the program will target industries that currently have the greatest workforce needs including: Architecture and Construction, Finance, Manufacturing, Transportation and Distribution & Logistics
PRO will leverage community partnerships and resources to make high school and community college students, parents and adult career seekers aware of the career options that exist in Amarillo and the surrounding areas. PRO will bridge the gap that exists between employers/businesses and capable employees to help develop a thriving local workforce. Check out the progress at www.pro2day.com
