Struggling with staffing? You are not alone.

Staffing struggles have turned into a year-round nightmare for many employers. That's why we are excited to share potential solutions at our latest business workshop Wednesday, November 17th, from 9 a.m. to noon at Green Mountain Technical Career Center.

This workshop will dive into Vermont's business staffing struggles and issues, explore ideas surrounding retention, discuss novel ideas and solutions, and then provide an update on the world of staffing with international workers. We will discuss J-1 and H-2B visa strategies and best practices, the state of the numerical cap, and look ahead to summer 2022 petitions.

We will discuss everyone's staffing and retention pain with a focus on solutions. This will be done through discussions, breakout sessions, and case studies. The workshop will highlight a new and real solution to your staffing struggles – Seasonal Connect.
