A Driving Force for Business
Consider Abilene as the future frontier. Abilene offers the ideal space for employers to grow locally, nationally, and internationally, as the region is home to a reliable network of nationally-ranked higher education institutions. The region’s three private universities, community college, technical college, and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center equip students to enter the workforce with highly-specialized training.
Abilene’s K-12 schools provide a strong foundation for students to progress into higher education. Abilene Independent School District (ISD) received an overall grade of “B” for the second year in a row for the 2018-2019 school year, and the nine campuses received a combined 22 distinction designations. Additionally, all three of Abilene ISD’s high schools achieved post-secondary readiness during the 2019 school year. Wylie Independent School District (ISD) received an overall grade of “A” and was recognized as a Purple Heart School for their support of military families.
In a global economy, forward-thinking insights and a broader perspective separates Abilene’s 140,000-strong labor shed from the competition.
