Description

Join the El Paso Chamber for our State of Education and Workforce event—an in-depth conversation at the intersection of education, employment, and economic development in our region. 

This year’s program will feature a keynote address by Leila Melendez, CEO of Workforce Solutions Borderplex, who will share critical insights on workforce trends, talent pipeline challenges, and opportunities to strengthen our region’s economic resilience. 

Attendees will also hear from a panel of leaders representing El Paso’s higher education institutions, discussing how colleges and universities are preparing students to meet evolving workforce demands. Together, we’ll explore innovative partnerships, skill-building strategies, and the role education plays in driving long-term economic growth. As workforce shortages, shifting labor demands, and rapid technological change continue to shape our economy, this discussion is more urgent than ever.
