Helping to meet the workforce needs of Ohio's businesses is a team sport, involving economic development, workforce and education professionals working together. Join us for this unique opportunity for to look into the future of talent recruitment in Ohio: “On the Leading Edge: The Changing Practice of Workforce / Economic Development” on Monday, October 7, 2019 in Columbus Ohio.
Labor markets are changing dramatically as a consequence of technology, globalization, demographics and the nature of the economic recovery.
The Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation has concluded that:
“… a paradigm shift is needed to transcend traditional state government practices to build a workforce that can keep up with the pace of business and innovation.”
According to the International Economic Development Council:
“… Businesses are facing a situation wherein older, highly skilled workers are retiring, and the pool of replacement workers is both smaller and generally less qualified. Decreased birth rates have slowed growth in the prime working-age group of 25- to 54-year-olds, and baby boomers have begun a massive wave of retirements. Furthermore, rates of college degree attainment are decreasing, while positions requiring higher skills are growing.”
For economic development, workforce and education professionals, this means that the traditional practices of talent recruitment no longer work in this ever changing and dynamic economy.
Join us for the hands-on one-day conference “Staying on the Leading Edge: The Changing Practice of Workforce & Economic Development” on Monday, October 7, 2019 at the Embassy Suites - Dublin, 5100 Upper Metro Place in Dublin, Ohio.
