Workforce Strategies Forum- Bridging the Gap: The Power of a Multi-Generational Workforce

Join us for this GCAMP special event: Workforce Strategies Forum. The focus for an important discussion is on harnessing the power of a Multigenerational Workforce

Today’s workplace is more diverse than ever before. Within that reality lies the unique opportunity—and challenge—of a multigenerational workforce. Each group brings its own set of experiences, values, work styles, and perspectives. Understanding differences across generations is crucial, it can provide you with the insight needed to lead your workforce, bridge the gap and create a thriving workplace.

D300

D300 Postsecondary, Career, and Transition Fair

Last year we had over 700 students come through the Dundee-Crown field house for this event which included students from all three D300 high schools (Jacobs, Dundee-Crown, and Hampshire). There were various time slots for each high school. We have condensed this for this year due to feedback from everyone who attended. This year, the event will run from 8 AM to approximately noon on Thursday, February 20, 2025. Lunch will still be provided following the event as representatives are breaking down their tables and packing up to leave. This event will mainly be for D300 Juniors but there may be student from Dundee-Crown who may be in other grade levels. 

 

If you are interested, please RSVP here. You can also email Jon Anderson or myself so we can manually enter you if you run into any problems. You should receive a confirmation email from SchooLinks in less than two (2) business days. If you do not, please let us know or check your spam. Also, we have had partners get "rejected" automatically. SchooLinks is looking into this. We believe it is occuring with partners who are not "confirmed" partners with us.  Jon and I will be monitoring this issue and will correct it when we come across this. 

 

Attendees are also encouraged to complete this Google Form in advance which will allow us to complete a soft background check that is required for this event due to it occuring during the school day. This will help expedite the check in process. A reminder about this will be sent at the beginning of February.
