Could Project Purpose help expand your workforce pipeline?
A panel of experts will explore how Project Purpose can expand Northwest Georgia's talent pipeline while creating pathways to employment for justice-impacted individuals and people affected by substance use disorders.
Hear from the people putting this work into practice. Our panelists include:
- John Zegers of GaMEP at Georgia Tech
- Alexandria Sanford of Highland Rivers Behavioral Health
- Barbara Aker of Richmond Baking
- Lydia P. Goodson from Polk County.
Together, they'll explore what employers can expect from Project Purpose, how workplaces can prepare, and what organizations are learning as these workforce pathways develop.
Bring your questions, and your team.
The session is built for manufacturing and logistics employers in Northwest Georgia, and for the workforce development, economic development, local government, and postsecondary partners supporting them.
