Workforce In Action Business Luncheon: Hire Smarter. Serve More.

If you’re ready to grow your team without blowing your budget, pull up a chair. On Thursday, November 13, 2025, we’re hosting the Workforce In Action Business Luncheon at the E. Harvey Estes Center (1121 Slater Road, Durham, NC 27703). In partnership with the City of Durham Workforce Development (via Glenda Morrow) and co-sponsored by the Give It Get It Business Membership and Infinity Bridges, Inc., this working lunch gets straight to the point: how North Carolina small businesses can leverage Workforce Development programs to hire for little to no out-of-pocket cost (eligibility applies) and boost capacity, fast.

What you’ll get: clear guidance on wage offsets, on-the-job training (OJT), internships, and work-based learning options across NC, plus a first look at our Intern Ready Program launching in 2026 to help you confidently recruit, onboard, and manage interns from local colleges and universities. Translation: less guesswork, more results.

Ask yourself (answer “YES” if it’s you):

  1. Do I want to increase output without increasing payroll stress? YES.
  2. Would a funded hire or internship help me serve more clients—this quarter? YES.

Details that matter:

Investment: $75 (training, lunch, and networking included).

Exhibitors: $300 (includes two admissions + advance marketing). Ideal for staffing firms, HR tech, training providers, and ecosystem partners.

Policy: No tickets sold at the door.


Why now?

We’re gearing up for Global Entrepreneurship Week, walk in with a plan, walk out with next steps. We’ll keep it practical, candid, and immediately actionable—because lunch and leads should beat leftovers and inbox doom.


Who we are (in case you’re new here)

Give It To The People® curates conferences, summits, and professional development that help entrepreneurs increase capacity, access capital, and build durable networks across North Carolina. Our Give It Get It Business Membership connects you to monthly training, curated resources, and a statewide ecosystem of doers—primarily women and BIPOC founders—who are serious about growth. If you value straight talk, real strategy, and consistent support, you’re in the right room.

Seats (and sandwiches) are limited. Claim yours, invite a business friend who needs a hiring win, and let’s put Workforce in action.
