Techstars – The 2020 Class of the Techstars Workforce Development Accelerator with Taylor McLemore
On today’s show, we have Taylor on from Techstars. They have built a fantastic program and this class that we will talk about today is all workforce-related and I can’t wait to talk about that. Also, we will hear about their Demo Day coming up on February 11th which has 12 different HR and TA tech startups.
This program is incredible and is focused not only on workplace skills training but also on creating great connections and relationships.
