About this event
For more than 30 years, the Minnesota Technology Association has helped Minnesota’s technology-driven companies achieve the greatest success by providing them easier access to exceptional talent, dedicated public policy advocates, and a chance to be a part of an innovative, inclusive technology community. This has helped Minnesota technology-driven businesses, professionals, and communities to thrive. One of the issues Minnesota technology-driven businesses face is the inability to fill roles with available talent — managers are under pressure to produce results and rarely have time to train, mentor, and support young technologists to close these gaps. The upcoming MnTech Tech Talk named Building Your Future Workforce: How Technology Leaders are Adapting and Investing to Solve the Talent Crisis will delve into this burning issue with an aim to inspire hiring managers and technology leaders into action with new ideas and approaches. In short “Ted Talk”-style presentations, local technology and talent leaders will share the creative approaches they have employed to secure the skills they need to get the job done, while also addressing the diversity divide. The presentations will be followed by a moderated panel discussion, audience Q&A, and networking. Time: March 30 | 4:30 to 7:30 pm CST Venue: University of St. Thomas Schulze Hall (Minneapolis Campus)Register here.
