Unemployment in Texas is down, business activity is up and by every other metric, we have a good thing going. To continue all of that, we need to build the workforce of the future. We need to make sure we have the right people trained for the right jobs in the right industries, and it all begins with education.

Join The Texas Tribune for a conversation on developing the next Texas workforce, moderated by Texas Tribune co-founder and CEO Evan Smith.

Panelists will include:

  • Judy Koonce, software engineering associate director at Accenture
  • Joe May, chancellor of the Dallas County Community College District
  • Kris Muñoz Vetter, executive director of Year Up Dallas/Fort Worth

Wait! We need your help.

More than 2 million people read Texas Tribune articles every month, but only 12,000 of those readers also donate to support the news they count on. Not even 1% of readers! If you are one of the 99% of Texas Tribune readers who hasn’t made a donation before in support of independent Texas news, you can change that today. A small donation makes a big impact.

Our Spring Member Drive is an important time to help our newsroom plan for what resources will be available for them to tackle longer investigations and bigger projects later this year. Texas Tribune journalists need the support of readers to write the articles, take the photographs and create the data visualizations that impact Texans and Texas policy.

We have a goal to have 500 readers become Texas Tribune members during our Spring Member Drive. As the Tribune member community grows, the journalism you read here is better protected. Will you make a donation today to show your support of independent Texas news?
