Our Chamber recognizes how important education is to the future of Florida. It is part of our business agenda. Research shows that, while predicting the future of such economic development is difficult, one fact is certain. The leading companies and clusters that will emerge over the next 20 years will locate themselves wherever they have access to a top-quality workforce.
Education is and will continue to be the primary job creator and driving force behind the transition into the new economy.
