Expand Your Tech Talent Pipeline – Strengthen the Austin Community Forum
March 23, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 10:00 am
Free
The U.S. labor market has changed since 2020, leaving employers struggling to fill roles and retain employees, even as many job seekers remain unemployed. By moving from traditional hiring methods to skills-based practices, apprenticeship models, and investing in local talent by participating in industry sector partnerships, businesses can expand their applicant pools, fill positions more quickly, improve employee retention, and increase organizational diversity.
Join fellow tech executives online or in-person at an exclusive, upcoming event for tech employers on March 23. We will dive into case studies that highlight tangible business benefits when tech companies implement tools like:
- Skills-based hiring
- Apprenticeships vs. internships
- Sourcing candidates and skills validation techniques
- Preparing for a new strategy using design thinking
