A Message from the President
|
The Chamber's Mission is to advance business success
in
the region. We understand that for our market and
region to
be successful and competitive, we must
continue to build a skilled
and trained workforce. This issue is front and center with many companies today.
To that point, I am very excited to announce
the inaugural
Workforce Summit
, hosted by The Macon Economic Development
Commission and The Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce. This event will provide dynamic speakers from various professional
backgrounds who will present information and resources for businesses of all sizes. We will also present the results of a "Skills Gap
Analysis" that has just been completed for our market.
Additional topics of the Summit will include:
- Challenges of Generational Workers
- Apprenticeship & Internship Programs
- Utilizing Social Media to Recruit
- Hiring Veterans
- Creating an Inviting Workspace
Attendees will also have the opportunity to
meet Workforce Development Resource
partners during a mini expo, and will leave with a resource handbook full of information useful for any business.
I hope that you will join us
Thursday, August 18 at Goodwill Anderson Conference Center
for what is sure to be an exciting and informative morning.
Mike Dyer
