Workforce Development and Economic Development Go Hand-in-Hand

December 13, 2023 by Amy Daniels

In the next few months, Memphis will be viewed as ‘ground zero’ when it comes to transforming our workforce.

Giving our citizens the tools that they need to be successful has been a passion of mine since I was a child, from literally first becoming a teacher to my current position today with the Greater Memphis Chamber.

I want to help people get jobs. Good, high-paying jobs. To do that, we must have a robust economy that supports the growth of local businesses and attracts new businesses.
