HOUSTON—The region has experienced notable growth during the last several years due to a resurgence in energy, petrochemicals, manufacturing, life sciences and construction. Healthcare, oil and gas, utilities and port/maritime are also critical sectors.

However, leaders from across the business community have identified one of the region's most pressing issues as finding qualified workers for good jobs that are vital to the success of these industries. And as the local economy continues to expand and diversify, job creation will continue to outpace the supply of highly qualified, skilled talent coming out of both state and national universities.
