The Minnesota Skills-Based Hiring Accelerator offers a wide variety of training and community-building opportunities for employer organizations of all sizes and industries, and in every stage of skills-based practice implementation .

Workshops
Offered monthly around the MSP region, these half-day workshops will help your company or organization jump start your skills-based practices. Accelerator participants receive training and tools to allow employers to:
-
Rebuild their hiring process with a skills and competency-based approach by focusing on candidates’ capabilities rather than credentials
-
Improve retention by rebuilding job descriptions, interview processes and onboarding practices
-
Using data-driven tools to connect with new talent pools
-
Network with talent-sourcing organizations as a key solution to talent shortages.
Our half day workshop is a nationally recognized delivery model and is a SHRM certified activity.
