Dismantling Barriers to Accessing, Retaining and Supporting Talent
Frederick County Workforce Services is proud to present "Leveraging Skilled Immigrant Talent for Shared Success", part of the Business Education Series.
Did you know that Maryland is home to a thriving community of skilled immigrants with legal work permits, eager to contribute their expertise to local businesses? From former office managers and international scientists to healthcare professionals, educators, marketing specialists, and logistics managers—the talent pool is diverse and deep. However, these highly qualified individuals often face significant barriers when job searching locally, primarily because their education and work experience were acquired abroad.

Whether you're a business owner, HR representative, or hiring manager, this session is designed to help you connect with skilled immigrants and effectively integrate them into your workforce.
Topics Include:
The benefits of connecting skilled immigrants with local businesses.
How to verify credentials obtained in other countries.
Practical strategies for recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding international talent.
Navigating cultural differences in the workplace.
Key communication strategies to build understanding, trust, and collaboration within diverse teams.
