Tomorrow is our job fair co-hosted by the Alameda Emerging Leaders Group. I’ve been thinking a lot about the workforce and its needs these days. Finding the right employee is critical to the success of any business as is holding onto those employees. You can have a fantastic service or product, the best in the world, but if you don’t have the help to bring that product or service to people, you’ll never succeed.

Sure, you can do it all by yourself in some businesses, at least for a little while. But at some point, you’ll need to expand.

When you do, you’ll need access to plentiful talent and a company/business culture that will entice them to stay.

If you’re en employee looking for exciting work, visit our job fair tomorrow that features some of the top employers in our area. If you’re just beginning your career, you should also consider joining our Emerging Leaders Group. It’s a great way to make connections.

If you’re an employer who needs more people to help you succeed, contact the chamber. We’re here to help. We want to know what you need now and what you think you’ll need in the future.
