On Sept. 24, UA Little Rock will hold the inaugural Workforce Summit where leaders from education, industry, government, and workforce organizations will gather to focus on strengthening partnerships and finding new ways to meet Central Arkansas’ evolving workforce needs.

The Summit is expected to draw nearly 200 attendees to share ideas and strategies for preparing and retaining the talent Central Arkansas needs while examining how stronger connections between education and industry can contribute to the region’s economic growth.

Among the summit’s highlights will be an executive and legislative workforce panel moderated by Hunter Field, editor of Arkansas Business. Panelists will include Dr. Ken Warden, commissioner of the Arkansas Division of Higher Education; Jack Thomas, senior vice president of economic development for the Little Rock Regional Chamber; state Rep. Mary Bentley; and Pulaski County Justice of the Peace Steven Person.

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State University (NYITCOM at A-State) have established a new partnership that creates a direct pathway from undergraduate education to medical school, allowing students to pursue both degrees while remaining in Arkansas.

Through the new Pre-Med/Doctor of Osteopathic (D.O.) Medicine Pathway Program, qualified students have the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree from UA Little Rock before continuing to NYITCOM at A-State to complete a D.O. degree.

The first cohort is expected to begin in Spring 2027. Applications are now open and are available to DCSTEM students pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree, excluding seniors.
