Greater Newport & East Bay Manufacturers, Come Learn About New Workforce Programs Available To YOU!
In this tight labor market, RI Manufacturers frequently face challenges recruiting, retaining and/or upskilling employees. The June 4 Polaris MEP Workforce Partnership Meeting will provide resources manufacturing owners and HR pros can use today.
You’ll also have the opportunity to guide future talent and workforce development programs. All of Polaris MEP’s programs are demand-driven, so we need to hear from you — where are the pain points? what’s most needed?
There are two convenient ways to participate:
- In person on the CCRI Newport Campus
- By Zoom
Form below works for either in-person or Zoom option.
The swift-moving but packed agenda will tell you how to take advantage of two Incumbent Worker Training (state-funded) opportunities. And we’ll introduce Skilled New Hire Programs and a federally-funded Partnership that you can leverage to help your company grow.
Space is limited! Register today.
