Time to get to work to build Delaware’s economy

With the start of legislative session in Dover, Robert Perkins, executive director of the Delaware Business Roundtable shares how Delaware can enhance its business climate by implementing the recommendations stated in the Student Success 2025 plan.

The plan was endorsed by the Delaware Business Roundtable last year in its Delaware Growth Agenda report for its strategies designed to create a direct link between education, workforce, and community resources.
Since the report has been published, progress has already begun with grants from J.P Morgan Chase & Co. and the U.S. Department of Labor. These funds will be used to enhance the ties between local businesses, educators and community organizations to better provide students with relevant work experience.
