Gov. Katie Hobbs on Wednesday announced a new initiative to meet growing demand for skilled workers in Arizona.
Hobbs launched the Talent Ready Initiative to coordinate her cabinet’s resources and boost access to education and training for in-demand jobs in advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, health care and clean energy, according to a Governor’s Office release.
“This critical work wouldn’t be possible without collaboration across state agencies, private industry, and our world class higher education system of universities, community colleges, and CTEDs,” Hobbs said in a statement. “Our workforce can’t be prepared without the great education and training pathways offered in Arizona. There wouldn’t be good-paying jobs to fill without job creators recognizing Arizona as the best place in the world to do business. And my administration stands ready to facilitate this important work in collaboration with these partners.”
