Welcome to the August Work-Learn Insight newsletter. Although we will continue to prioritize public health and safety, we also look forward to offering expanded in-person services on campus in the fall term.
Much like the changing situation on campus, the workforce is also changing. Many organizations are seeing the benefit of investing in the next generation of talent.

Most importantly, we want to help you use those tactics in your organization.
Why is it important to convert and retain the next generation of talent? How can you implement these strategies in your organization? Read on to find out.
