We’re only one month away from PRINTING United Expo!

Today’s focus is Workforce Development.

First up, we have two items featuring the expertise of PRINTING United Alliance’s Adriane Harrison, vice president of human relations consulting. In the first piece, on Printing Impressions, she explores why “back-to-school” isn’t just for kids. In the second piece, Harrison speaks with Wide-format Impressions about workforce development and retention.

Next up, you will find an article published by both Packaging Impressions and In-plant Impressions exploring the opportunity to employ disabled workers.

Following that, Apparelist takes a look at gendered ageism, which is an issue that faces many women in the workplace.

After that, we’ve included the Wide-format Impressions article, “A Brave New Staffing World,” which looks at how workforce expectations have changed in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Finally, don’t miss the Keynote Session “FULLY STAFFED: How to Find and Keep Great Employees in Difficult Labor Markets,” on Oct. 19, led by Eric Chester
