Teresa Gereaux, gereaux@roanoke.edu false MM/DD/YYYYCo-hosted by the Roanoke Regional Partnership, Onward NRV and our area's higher education institutions, the annual Future of Talent Summit brings together regional leaders across both public and private sectors to shape how talent is taught, developed, and hired across our region.
Employers consistently share a need for:
- Stronger alignment between curriculum and job-ready skills
- More hands-on experience for students and recent grads
- Deeper relationships with higher education beyond career fairs
Educators and workforce partners also emphasize the importance of collaboration, transparency, and opportunities to learn directly from one another. This annual summit is an opportunity to build new partnerships, strengthen existing ones, and set the tone for how we work together in the year ahead.
