Today’s recruiting trends (that include companies bringing back their outsourced manufacturing to the US) puts more pressure on sourcing. In this blog, Beth McCormick from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory argues that now is the time to focus on developing or expanding partnerships between companies and community college. These partnerships, given the time and resources, can become a significant source of quality candidates.

Future of Talent co-founder and author Eileen Clegg discusses “the wicked problem of the gender gap.” She talks about the key drivers of women’s collective stature and impact in society that are being discovered by reviewing patterns found in the past 250 years of history. Eileen explains how these patterns lead us to new hypotheses about how we can work together to create the evolution toward equal pay, equal influence, equal power on the planet with links to additional resources.
