Throughout the Talent Solution Series, we take an unprecedented and focused look at the most critical challenges in the new talent landscape. Each event brings together thought leaders, subject matter experts, and exemplar practitioners to give West Michigan employers resources, tactics, and networks to support talent attraction, recruitment &amp; development, and to nurture an inclusive workplace culture. At this installment of the Talent Solutions Series, we are connecting employers to non-profits, education providers, and vetted staffing firms who can help meet their talent needs and diversify their workforce. The event also aims to help these community-based organizations to network and connect with employers to better serve their clients, students, and community members.What to Expect<ul><li>Learn more about populations of untapped talent for your organization.</li><li>Receive an exclusive resource for how to be an effective partner with regional education providers.</li><li>Connect with nonprofits, education providers &amp; vetted staffing firms through the Partner Fair.</li><li>Participate in Building Bridges Bingo! for an opportunity to win a <a href="https://remarkable.com/store/remarkable-2" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">reMarkable 2</a>.</li><li>Enjoy light refreshments.</li><li>E﻿arn 2 SHRM professional development credits.</li></ul>
