Employers can strengthen and diversify their talent pipelines by sourcing talent who develop their skills through alternative routes – those other than a four-year bachelor's degree.

The more than 60% of Americans and Houstonians who don’t have four-year college degrees are a diverse pool of Workforce STARs we can tap. These individuals have developed Skills Through Alternative Routes and can succeed in today’s labor market.

Join the first 2022 UpSkill Works Forum series webinar as we welcome Byron Auguste, CEO and co-founder of Opportunity@Work to discuss how we can tap these Houstonians. Byron will share how we can work together to rewire the U.S. and regional labor markets and recruit these STARs.

Speakers: 

• Byron Auguste, CEO & Co-Founder, Opportunity@Work
• Peter Beard, Senior Vice President, Regional Workforce Development, Greater Houston Partnership
