Any company that is actively seeking to hire top talent today knows how difficult it can be. In many places and industries there is a gap between open positions and the supply of skilled workers to fill them. For example, a study by the Manufacturing Institute found that a lack of skilled labor could lead to 2.1 million manufacturing jobs going unfilled by 2030. This webinar explores unique opportunities companies are utilizing to build the workforce needed to be competitive long into the future. The webinar features the expertise of company and educational leaders who are working each day to educate, train, hire, and retain the talent needed for companies to be successful amid significant economic, technology, and workforce change. Topics covered include:

• Tapping into educational institutions to future-proof a robust workforce
• Identifying locations around the country that invest in their people
• And how local and state partnerships fuel business growth
