    Workforce Readiness Panel

    AASHRM will host a panel discussion with a group of Akron area professionals who are out on the front lines of workforce readiness programs every day. The focus will be on how we can collaborate with the local businesses to connect job applicants to jobs and/or provide training for the needed skills.

    Our guest panel of experts will bring us unique ideas from their angle of experience:
