Join us at The Cove for WCEDA's fourth annual Workforce Symposium!
 

Culture. Connection. Community. 

Learn what young and early-career talent across industries actually want from employers and communities — and how businesses can attract, support, and retain them.


Attracting and retaining young talent is one of the most important challenges facing employers today.

Join WCEDA for a dynamic Workforce Symposium focused on three essential pillars of talent attraction and retention: Culture. Connection. Community.

The event will feature a keynote presentation from NEWaukee's Angela Damiani, followed by:

  • A panel of regional business leaders sharing real-world strategies for attracting and retaining talent

  • An interactive focus group experience designed to generate ideas and solutions

  • A young talent panel focused on shaping the future of a Walworth County NextGen Professionals Alliance


Panelists will include a diverse mix of employers and emerging professionals from across Walworth County, representing a range of industries and career paths.

Participants will also have the opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape future workforce initiatives in the region.

What you will gain: 

  • Direct insights from young talent
