Growing Our Greatest Natural Resource – People

Attracting new businesses and strengthening business opportunity for existing businesses means growing the capabilities, skills and knowledge of the area’s labor force. Through our Education and Workforce Development efforts, the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce works with area schools, universities and private training providers to properly develop tomorrow’s workforce.

This emphasis on education and development begins with our youngest residents – infants and children – and continues through grade school and high school. We’re also fortunate to have a wide array of public and private institutes of higher learning. And, our focus on strengthening the knowledge and capabilities of business owners and professionals, not only spurs business growth, but also provides greater employment opportunities. As a result, Metro Omaha boasts an intelligent, hard-working, loyal workforce that is the envy of other cities.
