Sector Partnerships
Sector partnerships consist of business leaders, from the same industry and in a shared labor market region, and public partners (including education, workforce development, economic development, chamber of commerce, and community organizations) who come together to connect, collaborate, and address industry-wide challenges and opportunities.
By design, sector partnerships are industry-led and public partner supported.
The below partnerships are coordinated and facilitated by the Greater Arvada Chamber of Commerce and the Jefferson County Business & Workforce Center. They are ongoing and meet regularly.
