Aligning Opportunities Launch Event

When: November 18, 2021 8:30 am - 10:30 am

Our Region Has Talent, But Does It Align With The In-Demand Jobs

Join Team NEO and Delta Dental for an event to engage the business and education community in Northeast Ohio in meaningful discussions around solutions to the talent supply and equity gap identified in the Aligning Opportunities report.

As we recognize the 5th year of our Aligning Opportunities report, you’ll gain insight into the strides that have been made since the initial report and opportunities for the future. Business leaders will share their perspective on how we need to rethink talent practices to transform their workplaces into destinations for the best talent.
