Stronger Economy“Higher Education remains a top economic development priority, for two reasons:
1. The education system must prepare workers for the high-tech jobs of the future.
2. Companies and workers won’t come to Utah if executives and workers worry their children won’t receive a top-quality education.”
-Val Hale, Executive Director, GOED

education to support these strategies
