Connect A Veteran Networking Event

As you may know, Louisville is not exempt from the national conversation around talent shortages. In 2017, over 1,000 Kentucky employers participated in The Bridging the Talent Gap Survey disseminated by They Kentucky Society of Human Resource Management (KYSHRM). This survey assessed the needs and current state of human resources in organizations across the state. The findings indicate that 86% of employers anticipate moderate to high growth in the next 3-5 years. Among those currently hiring, 82% stated that they are experiencing challenges finding the talent that they need. Please review the full results of the survey at www.bridgingthetalentgap.org.

These statistics are alarming when considering the gap between talent supply and demand. However, LSHRM believes that now is a favorable time to showcase the numerous skills and talents that veterans bring to the workforce. Veterans and employers will interact in a facilitated networking event.
