SUMMARY:ATX Tech Talent Forum: Swipe Right on Tech Apprenticeships
DESCRIPTION:Learn from Austin tech employers who have integrated tech apprenticeship model into their hiring strategy and have seen the rewards \nABOUT THIS EVENT\nThe local environment for top tech talent is increasingly competitive and not enough Austinites meet traditional qualifications. Let’s discuss proactive solutions that will benefit companies of all sizes and fill all open roles with local skilled talent. \n❗ To put it in perspective\, 54% of Texas jobs across industries require a certification\, but 45% of Texans meet that criteria. \n❗ The gap is even greater in the Austin metro tech industry where over 83% of jobs require post-secondary training or a 4-year degree and only 60% of job seekers meet those qualifications (Labor Insight\, Jobs Eq). \nThe answer is to develop local\, agile\, and adaptable workers that can keep pace with rapid industry evolution through a Tech Apprenticeship. \n▶ Increase retention by providing rapid and responsive workforce training and “up-skilling” models \n▶ Diversify your workforce \n▶ Impact your productivity and profitability by advancing specialty skills and credentials unique to your business \nCome learn from Austin tech employers who have integrated tech apprenticeship model into their hiring strategy and have seen the rewards \nAGENDA\n9am – Check in and networking \n9:30am – Welcome \n9:40am – Employer panel: Apprenticeships impact on the bottom line \n10:40am – Break & Meet ‘n Greet (Visit and exchange information with training providers who can make apprenticeship implementation easy) \n11am – Practical application: choosing a role\, building a program\, measuring results \n12pm – Lunch & Keynote \n12:10 – Facilitated discussion: What do you need from the local talent pool? \n12:40 – Closing statements Networking and finishing lunch \n1:15pm – Event ends \nAt this session we promise: \n✔️ NSE – a No Selling Environment.
