AWR - Strenghtening the Small Business Workforce in Colorado

Mesa redonda en Anythink World: Fortalece tu marca con SCORE

Connect with curious minds at this month’s Anythink World Roundtable — a welcoming virtual space for open conversation, fresh ideas and practical insights.

Each session highlights a new topic to spark creativity and build real‑world skills.

This month, we’re joined by SCORE, an organization dedicated to supporting vibrant small business communities through mentoring and education.

Are you struggling to find and keep top talent in Colorado's competitive 3.9% unemployment market? Join Denver SCORE and AnyThink Libraries on August 25 for an actionable webinar designed specifically for local small businesses. This fast-paced session moves beyond traditional job boards to deliver innovative, low-cost strategies to recruit, retain and renew your workforce.

We will explore high-impact tools that are available to small business owners and managers. Time will be spent  looking into employment alternatives like professional employer organizations (PEOs) that allow you to offer big-company benefits on a small-company budget. Whether you’re a small shop with two or three employees, or with hundreds of employees across the state,  this webinar equips you with the resources and insights you’ll need to build a loyal, high-performing team.

What you will learn:

• Modern Recruiting Tactics: How to leverage "boomerang" employees, internal referral networks and state development playbooks to attract top-tier candidates.
• State-Funded Talent Pipelines: Ways to utilize local programs to secure wage reimbursements and grant-funded interns.
• The PEO Advantage: How to evaluate professional employer organizations to access premium health benefits, lower your turnover rates and outsource complex HR compliance.
• Youth Apprenticeship Integration: Steps to partner with organizations that train and shape high school juniors into loyal, productive team members in high-growth industries.
• Compliance Best Practices: Critical operational insights, including mandatory state reporting deadlines and navigating the MyBizColorado portal.
