What is EDTalks®?
Each year The Education Alliance hosts an EDTalks® event in West Virginia. EDTalks® is an education-based speaker series designed to engage business, education, and community leaders in innovative discussions about connecting education, jobs and West Virginia’s future. The 2024 EDTalks® featured two thought leaders, Nucor Vice President & General Manager John Farris and WV Senate Education Chair Amy Grady. Both EDTalks addressed the theme of New Core Partnerships for West Virginia Students and are archived below for viewing.
