💚💜 10 Years of FutureMaking!

Thank you to all who attended the FutureMakers Coalition Breakfast of Champions 10th Anniversary Celebration! We had amazing speakers, amazing collaboration, and amazing workforce development outcomes for Southwest Florida. We also wanted to give Brian Tietz a special shoutout for taking all the pictures!

💪 The FutureMakers Coalition's shared goal has shifted from 55% by 2025 to 60% of SWFL adults having a credential beyond high school by 2030. We are aligning with the Florida College Access Network and Florida Chamber of Commerce goal to accelerate this work and build off what this region has already accomplished within 10 years.
