Session #3: Changing Perceptions: Enhancing Duluth's Appeal as a Work Destination
Date: Tuesday, December 17th
Description: Join us for a session to address and reshape the perception that Duluth, MN, is less attractive for employment compared to larger cities like Minneapolis/St. Paul. This session will focus on debunking common myths and showcasing the unique advantages of the Twin Ports, including a lower cost of living, strong community ties, and an exceptional quality of life. Our panel discussion will also explore strategies for making Duluth a more welcoming and inclusive place for diverse talent. We will delve into how employers can better engage with New Americans, justice-involved individuals, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups. Key topics will include implementing inclusive hiring practices, developing support programs, and fostering an organizational culture that truly values diversity and inclusion
