Topic Overview:

Building off of last month's discussion, the Rochester Area Quality Council, an affiliate of the Minnesota Council for Quality, is pleased to feature two southeast Minnesota companies -- Cardinal of Minnesota in Rochester and F&M Community Bank in Preston -- at our September 14 program, "Southeast Minnesota’s Changing Labor Market, Part 2." 

Based on the changing demographics and Economic environment they have been challenged with, two SE Minnesota Businesses chose a proactive approach to preparing for the future.  Cardinal of Minnesota and F&M Community Bank in Preston worked with RCTC on a Minnesota Job Skills Partnership grant to tackle issues around Talent mapping.  The organizations took different paths to begin working on what their organizations and employees need to ensure growth and future success.  Please join us and we hear their journey and lessons learned.

The session is September 14 from 7:30-9:00 AM at RCTC.

Space is limited.  Please register by contacting Jennifer Burmeister before Sept 10 at jennifer.burmeister@councilforquality.org or 507-213-8132.
