Be the person you once needed - creating new talents in tech
10:20 - 10:40, 15th of October (Friday) 2021/ ARENA STAGE
We are desperately searching for new ways to acquire and retain talents to support our teams and organizations. Competing with each other over mid- and senior level professionals with experience not only in tech, but also areas that support our growth: finances, HR, sales. At some point, we all need to realize (and some of us already had) that there is a limited pool of senior professionals and that tech talents don't appear out of thin air. They grow from new talents, fresh starters or re-skilled professionals. At INCO Academy we support emerging new talents through non-profit, free of charge professional training provided to communities underrepresented in tech. Based on our experience in discovering and nurturing hundreds of most motivated and promising individuals from all over the world, I want to share with you best practices in engaging new talents that will help your organizations thrive, help you grow as a mentor or leader and support Sustainable Development Goals at the same time. Learn how to discover, nurture and mentor emerging professionals and become someone you once needed yourself - someone who empowers, advises and provides opportunity to contribute.
