The grand opening will feature a special guest, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who will formally dedicate the facility. “I’m so excited to join the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana team to celebrate the opening of their new Workforce Center. Workforce development is the future of Arkansas and is at the core of Arkansas LEARNS, my plan to take our state’s education system to the top. I know this new center will help Arkansas students graduate with the skills they need to find a high-paying job, right after graduation, right in their community,” said Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
