Employer Roundtable: Accelerating Talent Development During This Critical Phase
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
With the current operating climate in mind, we’ve recognized the significant risk to our business community. Specifically, if there’s a slow-down or fracture in the development of expertise in Vancouver and BC, it will have negative consequences further down the line for an already shallow talent pool.
Here at Northeastern, we’re planning to accelerate the recruitment of qualified students, and ultimately the number of grads, who will be a future and critical source of talent for BC based companies. During the roundtable, we’ll note your ideas, specifically on how we can work together to make this acceleration a reality, and to provide our students with experiential learning opportunities at your organizations. These opportunities will enable you to recruit our students for co-ops and projects, building relationships with them early to assist your talent recruitment strategies. With this in mind, our first students are about to successfully complete their first term and due to start co-ops in January, with more programs and new students starting classes in September.
At 9:00 am on May 5th we would like to provide you with a brief update on the plans for the campus and out planned program offerings. We’ll gather your feedback on our current strategy, and learn how the current operating environment is impacting your talent acquisition and workforce development needs.
