The U.S. Chamber’s Preparing Tomorrow’s Workforce Initiative (PTW Initiative) was developed to support members of the Chamber of Commerce Committee of 100 (CCC100) in promoting the importance of business education in schools and ensuring workforce readiness in our high school students. The PTW Initiative is backed by a generous grant from College Board to ensure CCC100 participants have the resources necessary to make a genuine impact on their communities.
Members of the coalition can support the Initiative’s overarching goals by doing the following, among other efforts:
- Encouraging businesses to endorse the College Board’s new course, AP Business with Personal Finance.
- Expanding opportunities for students to take AP Business with Personal Finance course and leverage its credential for employment opportunities.
To learn more about the PTW Initiative, reach out to John Patteson (jpatteson@uschamber.com) and Sara Armstrong (sarmstrong@uschamber.com).
