Startups and Policy Dinner @ Ten20 Craft Brewery 5/16/2023 5:45 PM - 5/16/2023

Fri, 12 May 2023 11:11:49 GMT

As you know, startups struggle to have proper advocacy in government. They are too small to build a policy strategy and too busy building their businesses to participate in the process, but they can certainly feel the impact of a state policy that affects their business. The bi-state nature of the Louisville and Southern Indiana region adds another layer of complexity. This event brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and advocates from across the US for an evening event focused on collaboration to identify and develop high-impact Kentucky and Indiana state policy recommendations that keep startup founders in mind. Join us for pizza, beers, startups, and policy!

Finding Hidden Talent: A surplus of employees is within reach, but are they out of sight?

A surplus of talent exists in places that employers aren’t looking, and we have some creative solutions to share with you that will help you both save money in your recruitment process and fill your open positions. Our region is incredibly fortunate to have a robust ecosystem of strong community organizations and programs that support the success of our workforce! Greater Louisville has a large untapped pipeline of people that fall into Kentucky’s opportunity populations, and data shows that this mindset shift in hiring can create an incredibly positive ripple effect and upward mobility for your workforce. We will share with you how to find people who want to do the work, and resources to train them from within to develop the skills they need for the job.

Join GLI and presenting sponsor HR Affiliates to learn how your company can work with community organizations and start filling your open positions with talented, hard-working, dedicated individuals. This event will feature insight from employers who have seen success through these methods, and ways that employers in all industries can work with these individuals to get them gainfully employed while growing their talent attraction efforts.

In the meantime, be sure to check out our Workforce Ecosystem Hub! The team behind GLI and Live in Lou have created this one-stop shop to help job seekers, employers, and workforce providers in the Greater Louisville region to identify the resources available to aid in advancing their careers or developing their workforce.
