Key Topics

  • How Fargo is framing regional workforce challenges with regional labor market insights and Lightcast’s “The Rising Storm” research to highlight national demographic and societal challenges.

  • An inside look at why GFMEDC and its partners decided to convene leaders at a regional data and analytics summit, how it partnered with Lightcast to build industry profiles to set the stage for the summit, and what it’s doing post-event to drive workforce results.

  • What Fargo leaders are doing to capitalize on the competitive advantages it has over other markets.

The Fargo-Moorhead metro area has one of the lowest unemployment rates and highest labor force participation rates in the US. It's also attracting new talent and building a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem. But like in many places, workers are still hard to find, and leaders in Fargo are working feverishing to build talent pipelines that help the region stay ahead of its competition. At the center of their strategy is a regional data and analytics approach that was highlighted at a recent workforce summit that brought together regional businesses, education institutions, and policymakers. 

Join us for this webinar with the Greater Fargo Moorhead Economic Development Corporation, to explore the data-informed steps Fargo is taking to compete on a global stage.
