For the second year in a row, Arizona and the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) are being recognized for innovative economic development initiatives.
Business Facilities Magazine recently announced the Arizona Commerce Authority as one of six state winners of its second annual Economic Development Organization (EDO) Awards, recognizing Arizona’s Future48 Workforce Accelerator training centers. The EDO awards recognize economic development organizations’ efforts to grow their communities through “initiatives that are delivering results toward capital investment, job creation, quality of life, and more.”
“Arizona is setting a new standard for workforce excellence with the state-of-the-art workforce programs,” said Governor Katie Hobbs. “The Future48 Workforce Accelerators will train Arizonans with the skills needed to support growing industries such as manufacturing, semiconductors, batteries, automotive and more. I’m grateful to the Arizona Commerce Authority and our local community colleges for their efforts to strengthen our skilled workforce.”
