Last Updated 1/7/2026 • Posted in News

The Education and Workforce Development Committee works to facilitate innovative partnerships among business, educators, students, and stakeholders to deliver a world-class personnel talent.

In 2025, the committee achieved significant progress in advancing STEM education and strengthening connections between education and industry. Key accomplishments include:

Hosted a well-attended community forum at Mitchell Community College in Mooresville, filling the auditorium with business and education leaders to discuss collaborative STEM initiatives.
Built strong partnerships with local educational institutions and employers to support workforce readiness and career pathways.
Raised more than $30,000 to fund a mobile STEM trailer for Iredell-Statesville Schools, bringing hands-on STEM learning directly to students throughout Iredell County.

Looking ahead to 2026, the committee invites community members to participate in shaping the future workforce. Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m. in Room 205 of the Workforce Development Building at Mitchell Community College, located at 701 West Front Street, Statesville.

Education and workforce development are essential to helping employers build a stronger talent pipeline, reduce hiring and training costs, and better aligning education with real-world workforce needs.
Join us and be part of the solution.
