Breakfast for Champions- Advancing DEI-B in Industries: Shaping the Workforce of Tomorrow

October 16, 2024 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM (PDT)

Description


Oregon and southwest Washington’s diverse economy spans industries such as manufacturing and technology. October is National Manufacturing Month, highlighting the vital role of the manufacturing sector in driving economic growth. It also offers a platform to raise awareness about the industry's importance and inspire future talent to pursue careers in this field. 

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI-B) plays an increasingly fundamental role in the manufacturing industry. As the sector evolves with new technology and global competition, fostering and cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce is key to driving innovation, problem-solving, and long-term success. 

Join us in a conversation with field experts about how they’re implementing DEI-B into their organizations in order to shape the workforce of tomorrow. 

Thank you to our sponsor Intel and venue sponsor City of Hillsboro
