Are you ready for your next workforce target market?
Public sector and not for profit employees across the country, and across the globe, are reassessing their careers, whether by force or by choice.
Have you assessed your community’s exposure to how recent job cuts and threats may impact your labor supply? I think that helping to facilitate this realignment may have a lot in common with matching military veterans to civilian jobs. Military veterans have an MOS, a Military Occupational Specialty, and we have resources to map those to civilian job descriptions, as imperfect as they may be. Similarly, there will be a need to translate the skills and experience of public sector and not for profit people to the needs of employers in your community. You economic developers are in a position to save both parties from a lot of floundering around – matchmaking is one of your superpowers.
