Second annual event brings employers and educators together to shape the region’s future workforce
The Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber Foundation’s (The Foundation) Ignite Initiative is partnering with the Cass County Career and Technical Education Center to host the second annual EDventures on June 26-30.
