Employers - Utilize Virtual Business Forums to Highlight Industry Needs
|
The Workforce Solutions Southeast Texas virtual business forums for
employers return in October. As part of its strategic plan, the
workforce board is engaging business leaders in essential industries
to gather their input through polling questions and group discussions.
Forums will take place during the month of October for the healthcare, education,
manufacturing, and transportation industries.
These forums allow employers to share their operational and skilled talent needs
through direct participation by providing the board with valuable local wisdom to
help create a winning approach to on-going workforce development strategies.

said Mary Hammon, executive director of Workforce Solutions Southeast Texas.
