Pueblo, CO — October 28, 2025 — The Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) presented the Company of the Year Award to Broadcom during its annual Drive|Lead|Succeed Conference in Pueblo. The EDIE Awards recognize excellence in economic development and celebrate leaders and communities shaping Colorado’s economic future.
Broadcom was recognized for its innovative approach to workforce development and its commitment to cultivating a skilled, diverse, and sustainable talent pipeline. The company established an on-site Learning Lab in partnership with a local community college, offering Basic Electronics Certificates and associate degrees directly at the workplace. This program removes barriers such as long commutes, enabling employees to advance their education without leaving their jobs.
The company also invests in internal talent growth, providing structured upskilling programs that allow employees to immediately apply new knowledge to their roles. Additionally, Broadcom has developed external partnerships to recruit highly skilled individuals, including military veterans, and supports future workforce development through a Youth Apprenticeship program for high school students.
Through these initiatives, Broadcom demonstrates that the true strength of a company lies in its people, setting a statewide model for workforce innovation, inclusivity, and long-term economic impact.
“Broadcom’s commitment to workforce development and community engagement sets a new standard for how companies can drive economic growth,” said Adam Kruegar, EDCC Board Chair. “They show that investing in people is the ultimate strategy for sustainable success.”
“This award honors a company that doesn’t just grow its business, but builds the future workforce for Colorado,” said Kim Woodworth, EDCC Executive Director. “Broadcom’s programs create opportunity, strengthen communities, and inspire other businesses to follow their lead.”
Hosted annually by EDCC, the EDIE Awards honor the people, programs, and partnerships that exemplify innovation, collaboration, and impact in economic development across Colorado.
