Meeting/Event Information

Winston-Salem SHRM will focus on helping employers leverage innovative approaches to community engagement and diversity recruitment to meet workforce needs, while fostering inclusivity.  Join us as we listen to several program managers with Goodwill Industries of Northwest NC discuss resources that help employers build workforces while providing training for potential employees.

This connects employers with unique talent pools and supports candidates  in overcoming barriers to employment through specialized programs, including:

Programs for Employees with Disabilities

Project Re-entry bridges the gap between employers and individuals seeking to rebuild their careers post-incarceration.  The program addresses concerns related to criminal records, providing a second chance for qualified candidates while enhancing workforce diversity.

Support for Professionals and Veterans

Programs such as those spearheaded by Tempy Albright equip employers with strategies for recruiting and supporting professionals, including veterans transitioning to civilian careers.  These initiatives emphasize leveraging transferable skills and providing structured support to ensure a seamless career transition.

Youth and Adult Education Services

Employers can partner with educational organizations to provide career development opportunities for youth and adults.  Programs offering high school diploma pathways and foundational workplace skills equip candidates with the tools they need to suceed, creating a pipeline of prepared and motivated talent.

This comprehensive approach empowers employers to build a dynamic workforce by tapping to underutilized talent pools, contributing to both business growth and community development.
