Dismantling to Build a More Inclusive & Thriving Workforce
How do we remove some of the systemic barriers to employment for those formerly incarcerated or who’ve struggled with substance abuse, and provide access and pathways to decent careers? In this discussion, our speakers will share personal experiences and will address how their organizations practice open hiring, support employees, and build thriving companies. We'll be joined by:
- Margo Walsh, Founder and Owner, Maine Works
- Peter Handy, CEO, Bristol Seafoods
- Carolyn Stone ‘97, Leader, Talent Acquisition & People Operations, Hypertherm Associates
