Attend Our Workforce Showcase on April 22

Workforce remains one of the most pressing challenges facing North Dakota businesses. A recent GNDC survey revealed that 70% of our members struggle to hire employees, yet 44% plan to expand their workforce in the coming year. Finding solutions is critical, and GrowND: Workforce Showcase is the event designed to deliver them.

What is GrowND: Workforce Showcase? Now in its second year, this half-day event brings together industry experts, state leaders, and business professionals for a fast-paced, high-value session focused on workforce solutions. Attendees will experience 11 concise, 10-minute presentations highlighting available programs, partnerships, and initiatives designed to strengthen North Dakota’s workforce pipeline.

The event also features a social hour, where speakers will host resource tables to provide the ability to connect, answer questions, and share materials that attendees can take back to their organizations.

Who Should Attend? Business owners, HR professionals, economic developers, educators, and anyone involved in talent attraction, retention, or workforce development will gain actionable insights. Last year, participants from across the state attended, and 100% of those who completed the survey said they would recommend the event to others.
