Austin’s unemployment rate remains one of the lowest in the state, tied with Amarillo with a non-seasonally adjusted rate of 3.4 percent. But the rapid growth of the labor force continues to exceed job creation. To remain competitive, many companies have invested more in their recruiting capabilities. But in a competitive market like Austin, finding talent can be a bigger challenge than usual.

Join the Austin Chamber of Commerce on September 14 as we host PowerUp Austin! to explore feasible ways to attract and retain quality talent in Central Texas. The networking event will discuss why strategic talent planning is critical to business success, how to avoid reactive hiring, and the steps that can turn your talent blueprint into reality.

Created by the Austin Chamber, the PowerUp Austin! series is a monthly conversation designed to keep the busy professional informed of the many ways they can navigate their company in the Central Texas business climate. The event will be the sixth of a series of business discussions lead by small and large company owners.

The event will be held at Bazaarvoice. Tickets are on sale for $25 for members and $35 for non-members.
