On Oct. 13, the first installment of our lunchtime Talent Solutions Series, “Hiring for Attitude, Training for Skills,” takes a look at the vast opportunity that employers might be missing by focusing on candidate credential instead of potential.
The event begins at noon at Frederick Meijer Gardens, and we are bringing some leading minds to this focused discussion:
