To the near 300 HR Leaders and Businesses that participated in the Talent Alignment Study: we hear you. Because of your voice in the Bridging the Talent Gap research, we now know that 82% of Louisville Businesses are expecting moderate to high growth in the next 3-5 years but almost the same amount (81%) of HR Leaders cannot find the talent they need today. This is an exciting but alarming statistic. The economic forecast for Greater Louisville is strong but how can your respective companies grow without the talent you need? We want to help you drive action towards a stronger workforce pipeline and on November 3rd that is what we intend to do.
One viable solution to meet the growing need of employers is to tap into the international talent pool within our region and beyond.
Join us as we welcome special guests, Mayor Greg Fischer and Kent Oyler who will address the potential of international immigrants as a driver of workforce talent attraction in the Louisville area and efforts in the region to maximize their impact. This keynote will be followed immediately by a Career Fair for foreign-born residents and other area job seekers. The career fair is being organized in partnership with several professional networks and programs (GLIP, Louisville Forward Prospanica, and others) to help you connect with diverse talent pools.
LSHRM Members are welcome to sign up for an employer booth at no cost and non LSHRM Members for $50.00. There is a max of 50 booths and requests will be honored on a first come, first serve basis. We expect to reach over 200 International Job Seekers living in Louisville, Regional Professionals, Veterans, and Recent Graduates seeking to elevate their careers.
The keynote event and Career Fair will sell out. Be sure to sign up today!
