About the UTC Employer Summit

The Employer Summit is an opportunity for UTC’s employer partners to compare approaches, learn from one another, and connect directly with UTC faculty and staff.

Breakout sessions, networking and a closing social hour will create time to exchange ideas and build relationships. The summit will also recognize employer partners for their work with UTC and its students.

Breakout sessions will focus on four areas:

• Skills-Based Hiring
