The data below illustrates our performance in relation to our FY 2024-25 goals: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IDA GRANT REPORT 4| 2 FY2024-25 Q3 Highlights During the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2024-25, the Chandler Career Center experienced its most impactful quarter to date, reinforcing its importance as a cornerstone of the city’s workforce development strategy. 14 new companies were successfully onboarded to the platform, bringing the total to 46, with notable additions including Advantest, Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, Applied Materials, Bashas’ Family of Stores, and Isola. Job seeker engagement also continued to grow this quarter, with 110 additional users registering, raising the total to 689 local job seekers. In support of these efforts, 312 new positions were manually posted on behalf of Chandler employers, bringing the platform’s cumulative job postings to 637. A 4 Lunch and Learn event was held in January to provide further support to our employers, and the team was also able to facilitate the arrival of the Curiosity Cube, a hands-on science education event from EMD Electronics and Millipore Sigma that introduced Shumway Leadership Academy 4th and 6 grade students to artificial intelligence concepts through interactive experiments, furthering long-term workforce development goals by sparking early interest in STEM careers. To further expand visibility and accessibility, a new Chandler Career Center Bus Shelter Poster was developed and deployed at 10 different bus stops around the city, targeting local transit routes to connect job seekers with local employment opportunities. Looking ahead, efforts will continue to focus on onboarding diversified employers, building out internship programming with Chandler Unified School District, and increasing student awareness of the platform through targeted outreach at local educational institutions. th th ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IDA GRANT REPORT 4 | 3 Chandler Unified School District’s “Build 4 Tomorrow” Career Event Chandler Career Center Bus Shelter Posters Curiosity Cube Event at Shumway Leadership Academy
