In his role, Jewett leads the Little Rock Regional Chamber’s initiative to transform the public high school experience in Pulaski County through career-themed academies and a community-connected approach as a Ford Next Generation Learning designated community. Jewett brings more than a decade of non-profit leadership to the chamber, having specialized in workforce development and educational leadership, as he worked to create opportunity for those needing it most in many parts of the country.
Having held leadership roles in traditional K-12 public school districts, networks of adult charter high schools, as well as post-secondary institutions, his experience is now used to generate meaningful and relevant learning environments for all public high school students in Pulaski County, as they prepare for what comes next.
Markous is dedicated to ensuring that all high school students graduate with informed options about their pathways forward. Whether that means students graduate and are continuing to pursue additional training or credentialing, entering a two-year or four-year college or university, or are immediately entering into a career, they will be equipped with all the necessary information, skills, and confidence to make the best decision for their futures.
When not at work, you’ll likely find Markous and his wife, Ashley, coaching or cheering on their children in whatever sport is in-season at the moment.
