Demographic shifts and declining birth rates are making it harder than ever for employers to find qualified candidates. International students attending school in south central Minnesota present a solution, and they are easier to hire than you think.
Why attend?
Traditional recruitment strategies are no longer enough to access top talent. By attending, you will:
Learn why international students are a great option for your business and how easy hiring them can be.
Connect with staff from regional colleges and universities with international students looking for jobs.
Find out if you’re eligible for $1,000 of custom legal and human resources guidance at no cost.
Who should attend?
This event is for HR professionals, hiring managers, and the top leaders of south-central Minnesota businesses seeking college educated talent (associates degree or greater). Businesses should be affiliated with the food or agricultural sectors, though they may belong to another industry including professional services, banking, engineering, manufacturing, processing, laboratories, logistics, or others.
Continuing HR Credits
This program is valid for 2.5 PDCs for SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP® recertification.
To receive these credits, you must attend the entire event and let our staff know that you would like to receive a certificate for this credit. Contact Brittany Bowman at bbowman@greatermankato.com.
