SUMMARY:GBC Steering Committee Launch: BLocal
DESCRIPTION:GBC is working to operationalize BLocal\, a regional effort focused on better connecting employer demand and economic growth to stronger local hiring pathways for Baltimore residents. This kickoff conversation is an opportunity for employers — especially major employers with significant hiring needs — to engage early in shaping a more coordinated\, employer-informed workforce strategy for the region. \nAs the work evolves\, we are moving from discovery to action. Based on conversations with employers and workforce partners\, we will introduce three emerging strategy areas designed to reduce friction in the hiring process\, improve alignment between talent supply and employer demand\, and create clearer pathways into stable\, well-paying jobs. \nThis session will give participants a chance to: \n\n\nHear how BLocal has evolved and where the work is headed. \n\n\nLearn about the three emerging strategy areas. \n\n\nShare perspective on what would make workforce supports more useful\, responsive\, and easier to navigate for employers. \n\n\nExplore upcoming engagement opportunities for partners who want to help shape implementation. \n\n\nFor major employers\, this is a chance to be part of the solution early — helping define the workforce supports\, data tools\, and partnerships that can better meet real hiring needs across priority sectors. The goal is to build a more connected system that works better for employers and opens more pathways for Baltimore residents into quality jobs. \nThis kickoff meeting is open to both GBC partners and non-partners. Moving forward\, steering committee meetings will be limited to GBC partner organizations. \nIf you are interested in attending this kickoff meeting and learning more about becoming a GBC partner\, please contact partner@gbc.org.
