As American companies face increasing stress in the search for skilled workers, especially in areas of advanced manufacturing, finance, research, and health care, there’s a clear opportunity to take advantage of the talents and workforce training of military veterans. This approach would enable employers to address key skills needs while providing both companies and veterans with opportunities to grow and address challenges together. This private session will address ways to create better economic opportunity and mobility for veterans by translating and matching their skills to the needs of businesses in key industries and economic sectors.
