About Carol's Keynote Session
Visionary HR Leaders: Tap into a Hidden Talent Pool with Career Reentry Programs
During this session, Carol Fishman Cohen, CEO and Co-founder of iRelaunch, will discuss why now is an excellent time for forward-thinking HR leaders to propose launching an in-house career reentry program, and the key steps required. Career reentry programs enable employers to tap into the hidden and high caliber pool of mid-career professionals returning to work after multi-year career breaks. iRelaunch refers to this experienced population as "relaunchers." This talent pool is primarily female, and consists of those who have taken career breaks for a range of reasons unrelated to their work performance; childcare, eldercare, pursuing a personal interest, time as a military spouse, "trailing" spouse or partner living as an ex-pat, time taken after military service, extended travel, or “un-retiring.” Tactical, practical and emphasizing the latest innovations and best practices, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from the global expert on career reentry programming.
You’ll learn about:
- Why leading your employer's career reentry program pilot can be the ultimate opportunity for you to impact lives and gain visibility from senior management
- The business case for an employer career reentry program
- Relaunchers and the value they bring to employers
- Why career reentry programs should be viewed as professional development programs for managers and for the returning professional participants
