About Us
Our vision is that every Colorado employer has access to a skilled workforce and every Coloradan has the opportunity for meaningful employment, resulting in individual and statewide economic prosperity.
Colorado educators are attending regional trainings from October 2025 to February 2026 to implement the “big 3” initiatives—work-based learning, college credit, and industry-recognized certifications—aimed at ensuring all high school graduates have postsecondary readiness opportunities by 2029, in alignment with new state policies and SB25-315 reforms.
CWDC contributed leadership, collaboration, and workforce innovation to EDCC’s Drive | Lead | Succeed Conference, highlighting statewide efforts to align Colorado’s workforce system with evolving employer and community needs.
