Colorado’s Workforce System Celebrates Annual Workforce Development Month
(DENVER) — The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) announced today that Gov. Jared Polis has declared September Workforce Development Month. An annual tradition celebrated nationwide, CDLE recognizes Workforce Development Month every year by bringing attention to the critical role workforce development services play in Colorado’s commitment to support a thriving environment for workers and employers throughout the state. Each week during Workforce Development Month, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) will focus on key themes that will shape our economy today and tomorrow. Week One is all about the Future Of Work. As the world of work continues to undergo massive changes due to artificial intelligence, automation, globalization, and other factors; CDLE and its Office of Future of Work will share resources that workers, employers, and communities have available to them to ensure their future prosperity in the workforce of today and tomorrow.

Filling Your Talent Pipeline: Going Beyond the Usual Suspects
In the U.S. there are 10 million unfilled jobs, and in Colorado, two job openings for every job seeker. Now’s the time for employers to lean into hiring older workers to address their talent shortages and to fill key positions. In this interactive workshop led by Janine Vanderburg, just named One of Colorado’s Top Most Powerful Women in Business, employers will learn:

• The benefits that experienced talent and intergenerational teams can bring to your organization.
• How not to let outdated myths and stereotypes get in your way of securing the best talent.
• Concrete strategies for finding and retaining experienced talent, including how your local workforce development center can help.
