As part of our mission, we have focused on discovering skilled and diverse talent across the country.From entry-level to top STEM positions, our pioneering firm has gained a reputation for helping companies place tough-to-fill openings -- with ease.As a black and women-owned company with a deep bench of workforce and talent experts, we leverage industry knowledge and operate as a strong strategic partner to help clients grow and scale. Additionally, we are one of the few companies in our niche that created a customized tech platform, www.careerequity.com, to match local and diverse talent to your workforce development program so you can meet your job creation goals in a quantifiable manner.Our list of raving clients include:▪️Peco-Exelon▪️Aramark▪️DNV GL▪️Comcast▪️City of Philadelphia▪️NYSERDAAs first-generation Americans raised by single mothers in disadvantaged communities, my wife and I both know the power of employment and strong work ethic in changing the trajectory of one’s life.But it would prove to be a career within the staffing industry that prompted our decision to establish a family-owned company.We are driven by a strong desire to create strategic job growth and a clear path to STEM careers ― within the same communities that they were raised in ― to help bridge the wealth gap.As a keynote speaker, here are some topics I love to speak about:✅ SALES: How To Partner with Small & Diverse Partners To 10X Your Business✅ WORFORCE DEVELOPMENT: Discover My Top 5 Strategies To Build A Skilled and Diverse Pipeline of Talent✅ TALENT ACQUISITION: Navigating The Best Recruiting Strategy To Help You Gain Results, While Saving Time and MoneyThe JPI Group is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise, Women Owned Small Business, Small Business Enterprise, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.
