Employers & Career Coaches
The Madison Region is strengthening the ties between our business community, our education community and our future workforce. Businesses like yours are critical to informing the upcoming generations understand the opportunities available where they live and across Wisconsin. Businesses are also realizing that if they don’t play a part, they will be missing out on the great potential within their local talent pools. Currently, Inspire Madison Region covers Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Green, Jefferson, Rock and Sauk Counties.
Inspire Madison Region provides Future Talent Services to help businesses make meaningful connections with students and educators for the purpose of talent development.
It’s more important than ever to let young people know about your company and industry because of the challenges that the pandemic has presented and because workforce shortages will continue to increase over the next 10 years. Industries that do not have current recruitment troubles will not escape this alarming trend according to Department of Labor and other economic modeling data.
To explore how Inspire Future Talent Services can help your business prepare its future workforce, please sign up for a 30 minute conversation with MadREP staff by emailing emulroe@madisonregion.org
