Event Details
Preparing for Tomorrow, Together: Education, Business, Workforce
In a 2019 Business Confidence Survey published by Georgia CEO, the majority of businesses stated a positive outlook on future business conditions, with 60% expecting growth in the volume of business. The most cited area of concern? The development of the future workforce pipeline, effective hiring methods and the retention of talent.
