Veteran Reskilling in Today’s Economy
What You’ll Learn
This virtual event, hosted by Samsung and The Manufacturing Institute, will provide a platform to bring awareness to the likely rise in veteran unemployment due to COVID-19 and highlight what companies can do in response.
According to a recent study by the Bob Woodruff Foundation “Vast numbers of veterans are to become unemployed, at rates that could surpass the highest level of veteran unemployment in the post-9/11 era.”
This event will provide best practices, resources and tools to help manufacturers attract and retain this valuable talent.
