Interesting discussion of how Houston leaders are thinking about local labor development in anticipation of the HyVelocity Hub, including collaborations with local community colleges and workforce development training. A lot is written about energy investing on a large scale, so it's always encouraging to read about the impact of energy investment within the local community.
