Event by the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia

Philadelphia has a wealth of untapped human capital.

At this half-day conference, business leaders will have the opportunity to learn how their peers are recruiting from Philadelphia’s diverse neighborhoods and engaging nontraditional workers to strengthen both their business and their community.
