Supporting high-quality education for a strong workforce
One of Richardson’s greatest economic resources is its strong and varied workforce. To grow our pool of workers and ensure a robust economic future, the Richardson Chamber of Commerce facilitates the business community's sustainable impact on building emerging talent.
From employees volunteering time to mentor students to businesses providing financial support for important educational programs and activities, the Richardson business community actively supports and advocates for high-quality education. Additionally, the chamber facilitates direct interaction between local school districts and higher education institutes to assure that students come away with necessary skills to meet demand.
