A partnership between Rockland Works, Rockland WDB, Rockland Community College, Rockland BOCES, Rockland Business Association, and MindOpen Learning Strategies
Join us for a compelling presentation and discussion of the effective resources for hiring, training, and retaining employees in the new era of business.
The Business Roundtable Initiative 2023 will provide a 2-hour, fast paced informative program of relevant, timely, and necessary alternative solutions for effective hiring, developing and retaining staff in this new era of business.
This free event provides participants with a much-needed forum to openly discuss their hiring and retention challenges as we continue to forge through the staffing issues which were exacerbated by the pandemic. Through this engaging discussion, we hope to find the training and employment gaps so that we can develop programming to meet the needs of the business community.
In addition to the open forum, our program will include a panel of speakers who will highlight the untapped job seeker market of returning citizens (aka individuals who were formerly incarcerated), individuals with varying abilities, and the emerging adult population. Employers will have the opportunity to learn about work incentives, tax credits, and the benefits of hiring non-traditional employees.
Event Dates & Locations: Please register for the event that aligns with your business’ industry. If you cannot make your industry event’s date, please register for the multi-industry event. Lunch will be served at all events.
Please note: In order to accommodate everyone, we ask that only ONE (1) person from each business attends. The attendee should be an individual who has the ability to hire staff and affect change within the organization.
