UpSkill Houston 10th Anniversary

9/4/24

We’re thrilled to mark the milestone of the 10th anniversary of the Partnership’s workforce development initiative with a memorable 2024 UpSkill Houston Conference. Over the past decade, UpSkill Houston has cultivated a distinguished, nationally recognized collaborative network comprising business, industry, education, and community leaders. This alliance has fostered robust relationships and fostered an environment ripe for innovation, aimed at cultivating a workforce primed for success in Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast region. As our region undergoes a profound shift from an industrial to a knowledge-based, technology-driven economy, the imperative to address skills gaps has intensified. It demands heightened focus, urgency, and concerted effort to sustain our economic growth and competitiveness. This special conference presents the opportunity to delve into UpSkill Houston’s core focus areas, reflect on its impactful journey over the past decade, project ahead to the skills challenges and opportunities awaiting the region in the next five years, and galvanize collective action and commitment for the decade to come. Join us as a sponsor for the 2024 UpSkill Houston Conference and highlight your organization’s commitment to Houston and its future.
