WHEREAS, the Avon Town Council has reviewed the information provided regarding CareerWise;

goals of the county, supported by local education as well as the business community recognizing
that the same pathway through high school and beyond will not work for every student; and

student needs, the CareerWise model has been proven to provide a positive return on investment for
most businesses as well as encourage a local "pipeline" of jobs for the community; and

simply in support of said application.

secure Eagle County as the next CareerWise community.
