About

What is the
Chautauqua County Education Coalition?

The CCEC is a dynamic public-private partnership made up of 125 stakeholders representing 70 organizations and is the catalyst for collaboration around four sub-groups:  Early Childhood, Non-Profit, Education, Business.

What is our Mission?

Our mission is to align resources and build capabilities to meet the evolving workforce requirements of Chautauqua County. Together, CCEC and the greater community identifies resources to fill gaps in youth services and help solve complex social problems related to education. A current focus is matching local curricula to the needs of local employers.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out the Chautauqua County Education Coalition (CCEC) page. If you’ve been familiar with our initiatives in the past, you’ll know that we’re currently in transition. The backbone agency of CCEC is changing from the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce to Erie 2 Chautauqua Cattaraugus BOCES. Our roles within the CCEC are to facilitate and bring people together to pool resources, problem solve, and bring opportunities forward for collaboration.
