    Join us for a webinar highlighting a new initiative aimed to close the talent gap and build stronger pathways from education to meaningful careers. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the College Board, is launching a new AP course, AP Business Principles/Personal Finance and this webinar will review course details and demonstrate how the curriculum provides high school students with practical business knowledge and essential personal finance skills, preparing them to thrive in an ever-evolving economy.

    With jobs remaining vacant due to a widening skills gap, AP Business Principles/Personal Finance is a strong step toward cultivating a career-ready future workforce. Hear from education, business and workforce development leaders as they discuss how this course equips students to make informed decisions and confidently transition from the classroom to the workplace.
