Hiring Opportunity Populations – Improve Your Recruiting and Retention
In this tight labor market, more employers are considering prospective employees they may have overlooked before, including refugees, people with disabilities, returning citizens, and veterans. Expand your recruiting pool and improve your retention by focusing on these demographic groups. Why?
- One in four people have a disability
- One in three people have a criminal conviction on their record
- West Michigan is home to over 25,000 refugees
- Veterans who recently left the military have higher unemployment rates than nonveterans
The Agribusiness Talent Council has partnered with several local community organization that serve these opportunity populations to bring you information to improve your recruiting and retention.
Attend this webinar to hear information on grants and other resources to support your business to become an employer of choice for these segments of the workforce. Information shared will benefit your company, regardless of industry.
