Education and Employment

The most important pathway to opportunity is a good paying job. The best way to achieve this is through education and an enlightened employer that sees the value in lifting people up through education. The Westside is blessed to have both. The Westpointe Campus of Salt Lake Community College is a crown jewel in the Westside crown.

This new, state of the art learning center is working with regional employers to develop work training programs that can lift many of our residents out of compromised economic positions. Employers know the value. The State knows the value. Our job as the Coalition is to make these resources widely known and to encourage their increasing and ongoing development with lawmakers and companies coming to the area.
