The Permian Basin Innovation Zone breaks down barriers faced by rural communities by taking a collective impact approach. By working together, we maximize student access to robust Career and Technical Education to provide access to college and high-wage, high-demand job placement.
The Permian Basin Innovation Zone believes that a student’s geographical location should not be a barrier to the quality of their education or their career opportunities. We believe in creating systems that provide access to Career and Technical Education to rural students, allowing them an equitable opportunity to compete with suburban peers in achieving their goals.
