Get Informed: Interactive Business Guide for education & the gubernatorial race

Colorado Business Roundtable has joined forces with 19 statewide groups and the Denver Business Journal to ask: What if Colorado students obtained the levels of education needed to compete in today’s economy?

In May, our coalition launched a new resource for Colorado employers, voters, and the gubernatorial candidates to make our state’s schools the best in the nation: A Business Guide for Colorado’s Next Governor. We are excited to present to you this interactive online tool for the convenience of making an informed decision on June 26th, our state primaries. This guide includes:

1.       New economic data showing the impact to Colorado’s economy if our state had the best schools in the country

2.       The impact of Colorado’s skills gap on employers

3.       The improvement strategies supported by Colorado voters and employers

4.       A gubernatorial candidate survey on key education issues

The findings are astounding. If Colorado students earned the levels education and training needed for Colorado jobs, after 10 years if would generate over $12 billion in increased GDP growth.

We encourage you to explore this resource before the June 26th primaries and ask that you share it with your network. Below are suggested social media posts to can use to spread the word:
