Largo, MD – The Prince George’s County Chamber of Commerce, which boasts over 900 companies throughout Prince George’s County region, has recently partnered with Arbor Education & Training to enhance employment opportunities for  residents of  the county.

As a result, our clients have been exposed to employers throughout the region, while gaining invaluable professional skils in real world work situations.”
