It is often assumed that people who aren’t working can’t find an open job. But in an economy where there are far more available jobs than people counted as unemployed, we know the situation is far more complicated. There are barriers standing between jobs and those who want to work. All of us need to understand these barriers so we can eliminate or overcome them as a society. Adding the 6 million Americans who are officially counted as “unemployed” to the 5.6 million Americans who say they would like to work but are not “in the labor force” because they are not actively looking for work, there are 11.6 million Americans who want a job. 

With 9.8 million jobs open today, something, or a multitude of factors, is clearly standing in their way. Jobs are not in short supply, and companies desperately need people to fill them. Join us for a compelling discussion on the top ten barriers to employment and how to eliminate them with your hiring practices and culture. You’ll also hear about several employers who have successfully expanded their candidate pool through implementing new practices to remove barriers for their workforce. 

Objectives: 

• Understand the needs of job seekers with barriers to employment. 
• See an example of a hiring statement that appeals to all members of the job market. 
• Review new ways to communicate with potential candidates that supersede the traditional resume and job application. 
• Discover ways to retain employees with barriers.
