    ABOUT THE PRESENTATION: This month we welcome Jessica Borza and Chelsea Mills to discuss career coaching that can hlep you boltser your talent pool and increase retention.

    ABOUT THE SPEAKERS: Jessica Borza serves as the Executive Director of the Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition, a leading industry sector partnership, since its inception in 2011. Jessica led MVMC in its effort to convene, educate and mobilize the region's key stakeholders around a common set of priorities in order to recruit, prepare, and retain a workforce qualified for the specific needs of the manufacturing industry.  She also is the Senior Workforce Advisor to the Ohio Manufacturers Association where she leads the statewide Industry Sector Partnership Network in its implementation of the Good Jobs Challenge project. 

    Chelsea Mills is the owner of The Chelsea Mills Group, offering workforce development services to organizations committed to building a more equitable economy.  Chelsea has 20+ years of experience at Towards Employment where she focused on the development and implementation of sector specific, career-pathway programs designed to meet business needs by providing low-income under- and unemployed individuals with the training, career coaching and wrap around supports they need to enter and advance in manufacturing and healthcare. Chelsea has led two rigorously evaluated demonstration projects, Achieve and WorkAdvance. This experience centers around program implementation and management, but also includes concept development, planning and monitoring of large budgets, data analysis and reporting, and significant amounts of staff development.

    ABOUT THE ConxusNEO: Our role is to convene employers, educators, workforce programs, economic development, and community-based organizations to make that vision a sustainable reality.   Our work is based on the supply chain management model where workforce system strategies are innovated among partners to deliver the in-demand skills local companies need as the ultimate end-users in the supply chain.  As collaboration evolves, partners across the talent supply chain experience shared value.  Educators and workforce training programs are better able to align curriculum with in-demand skills, economic development efforts can benefit from more strategic workforce assets, and community-based organizations can leverage relationships and a variety of program partners to recruit and support residents in their job preparation efforts.
