BE BOLD 4: Workforce Recruitment and Retention

At the end of November 2019, CWI hosted a day-long Action Accelerator for more than 100 business executives and workforce, economic and community development experts from across the state at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin. As a part of the Accelerator we asked more than 30 individuals to share their assessment of how their field of expertise, place of business and/or community was being affected by workforce shortages.
