Member Workshop: The Everchanging Talent Landscape: How to Better Attract Talent Today!

Following the Toronto Region Board of Trade’s Workforce Summit 2.0 in March, we understand the need for more insights, strategy and tactics for your organization to better attract young and diverse talent across the Toronto region.
In this interactive workshop collaboration between Radical Ventures and CivicAction, we’ll explore the talent landscape by the numbers, the dramatic increase in high-tech job growth in the region, opportunities to expand your talent pipeline, and practical tools and resources to help employers attract talent.
Attendees will leave the workshop equipped with:
- • Scenarios of how organizations are attracting and retaining talent in the tech space.
- • An understanding of the Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) youth population as a source of potential young and diverse talent.
- • Practical tools and resources that will help employers attract NEET and other talent.

Did you know that 50% of young people reported job titles like "associate" would cause them to lose interest in a job posting? To address barriers that may be embedded in the job posting, CivicAction created the HireNext Job Posting Assessment (JPA), an easy-to-use online tool that provides tailored recommendations to employers who want to attract young, diverse talent.
