It's Time to Be ProactiveAs Baby Boomers age out of an already thin labor market, employers are feeling pressure to maintain their workforce both in the short-term and long-term. Businesses cannot stand by while the future workforce goes through school, unaware of the career and educational paths that may lead to their doorsteps.
Traditional classroom-based education and job training programs do not always reflect workplace needs, and employers find that many job candidates lack valuable hands-on experience. In order to develop the most relevant talent pipeline, career preparation should reflect industry’s most in-demand skills and take place within the context of the workplace. Don't "Post & Pray" - Build a Pipeline "Post an open position online and hope the right candidates apply." If this sounds like your organization's strategy for cultivating and hiring talent, you may find yourself struggling to meet your labor needs.
Instead, put your industry and opportunities right in front of young adults who are eager to find their path through Talent Bound activities. Developing a pipeline of diverse future talent simultaneously offers businesses a positive image within the community while providing existing staff with leadership experiences they may otherwise not have had. EmployIndy will be a partner by your side to make it easy and impactful. |
