Attendees will gain insight into Tampa Bay workforce trends centered around the young adult demographic. This event will be a regional Think Tank, allowing a variety of discussions focusing on workforce trends in Tampa Bay. Experts will share research on population growth in the Tampa Bay region, and businesses will get the opportunity to discuss populations we need to target to meet their needs.

There are approximately 26,100 opportunity youth in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. These 16-24-year-olds are neither in school nor employed. This research helps community leaders better understand these young people, their stories, and ideas and solutions to support young adults in the greater Tampa Bay area’s transition to the workforce.

Discussion  Takeaways

Data tells us employers are not hiring youth as much as they can or utilizing their potential.

Employers will learn about Accessing Training and Employing Disconnected Youth (Opportunity Youth), Training and Education, and gain insight on how to get beyond their barriers.
