Last week, local leaders gathered to spotlight a powerful new tool driving change in education and workforce development—the Aspire Capital Region Education Data Dashboard. With insights from the Helios Education Foundation and Florida College Access Network, attendees explored the Florida’s Future Billions report and data specific to Leon County. From chronic absenteeism to FAFSA completion and postsecondary success, the dashboard highlights both our community’s challenges and opportunities. At the Chamber, we believe progress starts with collaboration. That’s why we’re proud to partner with ASPIRE and the business community to help ensure every student has a pathway to success.
