Description
Join us on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at Mt. Pleasant Grille for a valuable Lunch & Learn session: "Tapping into Non-Traditional Workforce Populations."
During this event, we’ll explore practical strategies for engaging talent from underrepresented and often-overlooked groups—including veterans, individuals with disabilities, caregivers returning to the workforce, and more.
This is a great opportunity for employers, HR professionals, and business leaders to gain insights on how expanding recruitment efforts to include these populations can strengthen teams, build community, and address workforce shortages.
The discussion will be moderated by Melody Murphy, Director of Workforce and Continuing Education. Panelists include representatives from Delta Recovery, TN Department of Human Services, 431 Ministries, Operation Stand Down TN, and South Central Tennessee Workforce Alliance.
PANELISTS:
Matthew White, Executive Director, Delta Recovery
Andrea Peyton, Vocational Rehab Business Employment Consultant, TN Dept of Human Services
Rachel Peck, Executive Director, 431 Ministries
Clay Huddleston, Career Initiatives Coordinator, Operation Stand Down TN
Stephen Webb, Chief Operating Officer, South Central Tennessee Workforce Alliance
Lunch will be provided. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today!
