About the Taskforce

Educational Taskforce

The Hamilton County Educational Taskforce brings together school leaders, local businesses, community agencies, and other essential stakeholders to ensure that students are prepared for real success after graduation. Our work is focused on helping students build the academic, technical, and employability skills they need for the workforce while strengthening the connection between our schools and the ongoing needs of employers in Hamilton and surrounding counties.

Built Through Partnership Since 2018

As one of the founders of the Hamilton County Educational Taskforce, I have been proud to see this work grow since its beginning in 2018 through a partnership with the Hamilton County Economic Development Authority. It was built on a simple but important belief that when schools and community partners work together, we can do more for students than any one group can do alone. What began as a shared effort to support student achievement, and school safety. Over the years, our membership has grown and evolved into a strong community partnership focused on preparing students to become productive citizens and successful members of the workforce. That continues to be the heart of this work today, building the relationships, pathways, and opportunities that help our students become workforce ready while keeping our community stronger than ever. If you would like to become a member of our growing taskforce or would like additional information, please reach out to chris.combass@hamiltonfl.com.

CTE Showcase

The Educational Taskforce CTE Showcase gives community leaders, partners, and stakeholders a chance to experience Hamilton County’s Career and Technical Education programs firsthand. From the campus tour to lunch provided by Culinary Arts, the event is designed to highlight student learning, celebrate the value of hands-on instruction, and strengthen connections between our schools and the community. It is also an opportunity to share ideas, promote partnerships, and continue the work of preparing students for success in school, in the workforce, and in life.
