Work Integrated Learning - Focus Group for Non-Profit Organizations

LJS & Associates Consulting Inc. is hosting a dynamic focus group discussion for managers, HR workers, and employers from non-profit organizations on work readiness, what it means, how to improve incoming skill sets in the workplace, and how to create a more efficient hiring process.

What does that mean?

Together, we will discuss what employers and managers can do to improve hiring decisions, enable new employees to learn more effectively in the workplace, creating a smoother transition from new arrival to contributing team member. Bring a friend, colleague, and willingness to learn!

Does a co-op or internship placement actually help?

What skills do you most need your new hires to have?

How can you assist new employees to learn in your workplace?

Speaker Dr. Lesley Cooper.
