Are you looking for employees and are interested in learning more about the best way to hire from the Newcomer populations in Wisconsin?

The Jefferson County Human Resources Management Association (JCHRMA) has recently embarked on an exciting new chapter! We are laser-focused on empowering local and Wisconsin HR professionals and business owners to tap into the talent of newcomer workers from immigrant, ESL and refugee communities through programs like humanitarian parole, Welcome Corps, visas, and international workforce/asylee initiatives.

Join us for this groundbreaking event designed for business owners and hiring managers to gain invaluable insights into hiring best practices, cultural understanding and the nuances of employing diverse populations.

We’ll cover successful integration strategies for newcomers with your existing workforce, including transportation, housing, ESL/ELL support with technology, and retention tactics. Success stories will be highlighted.

Additionally, we’ll discuss training opportunities surrounding basic skills, soft skills, and available resources to facilitate a smooth onboarding process.

Keynotes from industry leaders will kickstart enlightening discussions. A comprehensive hiring manual and website will be developed after the conference, putting valuable resources at your fingertips.

The conference agenda may be found here.

Let’s make a real impact together in Wisconsin and beyond. Register now and be part of this transformative conference.
