Fort Worth’s business community is growing fast—but with that growth comes new challenges. At our recent Workforce Summit, employers across industries made one thing clear: soft skills are the top concern when it comes to entry-level talent and young professionals.
Communication. Reliability. Teamwork. Problem-solving. These foundational skills are critical to business success, yet many employers are struggling to find and develop them within their workforce.
Join us for our next Chamber Confidential luncheon as we tackle this issue head-on and connect you with practical solutions.
You’ll hear from Renee Parker, Business Services Director for Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County, who will share how their organization partners with employers to strengthen talent pipelines through targeted programs and resources. You’ll also gain insight from Adam Barber of Texas State Technical College, who will highlight innovative soft skills training opportunities available through a partnership with the Texas Workforce Commission—many of which are free or low-cost for businesses.
Whether you’re a small business owner, HR leader, or executive at a growing company, this session will equip you with tools to better prepare, support, and retain your workforce.
