With the support of the business and education communities, the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and City of Tyler established the Tyler Area Business Education Council in 2012. Since its inception, the Business Education Council has worked with partners in all sectors to elevate education as one of the region's most critical issues. The Business Education Council has served as an organizer of stakeholders and as a partner to businesses, schools, colleges, and universities in developing new programs, facilities, and events to assist area students and families. Additionally, it serves to ensure local workforce needs are properly aligned with available educational programs and skills training. Education is a responsibility we all share. We must be diligent, steadfast, and engaged to improve the future for our young people, ourselves, and our community. No single person, program or organization can guarantee an individual's success; but, we can work together as a community to give all residents every possible opportunity for success.
