Session Description:
As the job market fluctuates, employers continue to find it challenging to find candidates with the skills they need to fill their openings. Many employers are looking to fill their needs internally with upskilling and reskilling. But sometimes that’s no small undertaking. In this session we’ll examine how to meet organizational goals and needs through developing your existing talent.
- Examine the state of the current job market and the opportunities and challenges presented.
- Discuss how to identify skills gaps with existing talent.
- Discuss implementing a plan to identify and develop current talent to meet those needs.
