Here are the top five reasons Accelerate Shareholders should join us:

2. Hear first-hand from participants in the LaunchGVL program.

3. Meet with Accelerate Shareholders, fellow business and community leaders dedicated to moving Greenville forward.

Positioning our workforce for 21^st century opportunities has long been a focus of the Greenville Chamber’s Accelerate initiative. That focus is even bigger now. Attracting and retaining a skilled workforce is the number one challenge facing employers in Greenville- particularly in high-demand industries like advanced manufacturing, construction, and healthcare.
