At its annual State of the Chamber Luncheon on Feb. 13, the CBICC unveiled a new video designed to encourage student enrollment in CentreREADY. The video features local business leaders delivering the message that strong core skills are needed and valued in the workforce. In addition, students that have already signed up to earn the CentreREADY designation provide testimonials about their decision to seek the designation -- the business community's seal of approval. The educational institutions that are partners in the CentreREADY initiative will show the video during program roll out and related presentations. Read more.
