Virtual Healthcare & Life Sciences Consortium

Description

CareerSource Tampa Bay will be holding a Virtual Healthcare & Life Sciences Consortium to understand the needs of the community and find solutions. We will be bringing together Healthcare & Life Sciences industry leaders in the Tampa and Hillsborough County region. This Consortium will be held via a Zoom meeting on Thursday, June 4, 2020 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

Industry Sector Consortiums are the vehicles through which industry members voice their human resource needs and where regional solutions for workers and businesses can be determined. The Consortiums will allow a regional, industry-focused approach to build a skilled workforce aligning resources and addressing the talent needs of employers.

Below you will find a list of questions that we will be discussing at the Healthcare & Life Sciences Consortium. Please take a moment to review questions so we can further discuss at the Virtual Consortium.
