Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Workforce Development / Challenges
Monday, August 5, 2024|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Calusa 8-9
The focus on this session will be on technical & engineering talent shortages with a panel of utilities/suppliers. We will hear from the utility/supplier panel about what actions have been implemented on the development and retention for technical & engineering talent within our industry. Which utility/supplier models have been successful for technical & engineering tasks due to the talent shortage. What actions have been taken to attract new technical & engineering talent (example: programs implemented to hire recent technical & engineering graduates)?
