The 2025 BBEC Business & Education Summit was a resounding success! More than 175 leaders from across Berks County came together to explore innovative ways to prepare our future workforce. A highlight of the morning was remarks from Pennsylvania Secretary of Labor & Industry Nancy Walker, who shared powerful insights on the state’s efforts to strengthen career pathways and workforce development. From East Penn Manufacturing’s inspiring School-to-Work case study to thought-provoking discussions on artificial intelligence and career readiness, the energy and collaboration in the room were unmatched. Thank you to everyone who joined us in connecting business and education for a stronger Berks.
