Sessions

You can’t build your company’s tomorrow by hiring and upskilling the way you have in the past. As an HR leader, you’re expected to find the perfect candidate for every position—no matter how hard-to-fill. In today’s labor market, that means looking at new pathways to hiring and skilling. You also have to find cost-effective and engaging ways to upskill existing employees. Enter the apprenticeship! Apprenticeships are quicker, easier, and more cost-effective than you think and are proven to bring in candidates you might otherwise miss while improving productivity, retention, and morale. In this session, learn how this talent development tool, once thought of as “only for the trades,” has expanded into areas such as IT, cybersecurity, insurance, finance and HR. Gain step-by-step guidance on implementing this time-tested workforce development solution in your company and become a hiring hero.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how apprenticeships can help fill hard-to-fill positions and create new upskilling opportunities.
• Hear how apprenticeships support DEI&A goals.
• Discuss how apprenticeships are expanding to new fields, and deliver a positive ROI with a relatively small amount of effort.
