Workforce Symposium
Description
Join us at the beautiful Horticultural Hall in Lake Geneva for WCEDA's second annual Workforce Symposium!
It's crucial to strategically reinvest in your business to maintain competitiveness in constantly evolving markets. Technology and equipment upgrades, infrastructure maintenance, and marketing programs tend to take precedence, but in the quest to attract talent, adaptability and creative thinking have emerged as indispensable traits for businesses. We'll discuss why failing to reinvest in your current workforce and offer development opportunities for prospective employees isn't an option.
Join us at this year's Workforce Symposium to gain insight on valuable available resources and hear from employers in and around our county that are leading the way.
