Join us at Technical.ly's Hire BMore: Developing a People Pipeline event as part of Baltimore Innovation Week 2018.

Technology and productivity improvements are rapidly transforming the local workplace leading to an increased demand for a skilled and adaptable workforce. As Baltimore develops its R&D, advanced manufacturing, and innovation capacities, it also begins transitioning the city’s development prospects which will increasingly hinge on successful education and training programs to build, adapt, and validate.

Join the conversation with prominent local organizations which have a role in the local development of job skills and identify resources to support your business growth. We will start off the day with a roundtable discussion amongst the audience hitting key pain points and areas of success to creating a strong workforce and retaining talent. We will provide prompted questions to engage with your fellow peers in the audience that can provide context to the panel of local experts discussion.
