2023 Workers Wanted Conference

Share This Post

The COVID pandemic forever changed the labor market. Even though businesses don’t want to hear it, the world of work isn’t going back to the way things were. To remain competitive in this challenging job market, businesses must focus on their most valuable resources: their people.

Never has the war for talent been so critical; companies not only need to attract great candidates but also keep them.

  • Keynote presentation from Josh Wright, Executive Vice President of the Community division at Lightcast, the global leader in labor market analytics.
  • Speaker panels throughout the day discussing demographics, stories about successful local recruitment and retention efforts, pathways to upskill workers, untapped labor markets, State and Federal incentive programs, and much more.
