Speakers at this month’s member luncheon covered hot topics such as the “Childcare Infrastructure Fund”, “Early Care & Education (ECE)” and “Rapid Response & Layoff Aversion”.
These topics are high priorities to help turn the tide for those who are wanting to re-enter the workforce, but don’t have the means for childcare and businesses who are in need of more workers or wanting to attract workers in a pivotal way or businesses who may be facing the difficult decisioin about making layoffs to make it through their current business challenges
