School is starting, so what has that got to do with your chapter? This is a great opportunity to reach out to a local community college or university. Students need assistance in many ways. Your chapter can play a part in helping a student find the right focus, assist with resume writing, conduct mock interviews, or assist with career exploration.
Join us on Tuesday, September 13 from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. for a day full of great human resource information for business owners, managers, and HR professionals. Re-certification credits are available! The topics include how to use social media as a foundation for building your organization, what’s new in employment law, compliance 101 related to keeping up with overtime and healthcare laws, occupational medicine, inter-generational communication survival guide, and a panel discussion on how to shrink the local skills gap in employment. A happy hour will follow for all seminar attendees.
