The GROW (Get Ready for Opportunities to Work) Jeffco partnership with Jeffco Public Schools, the Arvada Chamber of Commerce, and the Jeffco Business and Workforce Center helped launch four Career Hubs in Jeffco High Schools over the past year.
Career Hubs were designed to facilitate equitable engagement of partners across the education-to-employment pipeline in Jefferson County. Our collective goal is to implement 20 career hubs across Jeffco to reach 30,000 students and 2,500 employers, year-over-year.
If you have missed out on the numerous opportunities to get involved with Jeffco Public Schools, there is more on the horizon!
