The way we build talent is changing—and fast.
As industries evolve and workforce demands shift, traditional education alone can’t keep up. Employers are turning to microcredentials and short-term upskilling programs to stay competitive, build stronger teams, and create real pathways for growth. But with so many options available, knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming.
That’s where The Landing Crew steps in.
This event brings together Omaha’s talent leaders and microcredential providers for a practical, employer-first conversation focused on real solutions. You’ll hear directly from experts who are actively helping organizations close skills gaps, strengthen workforce pipelines, and align learning with what today’s jobs actually require.
Featuring panelists:
Dr. Erin Bass, University of Nebraska at Omaha
Todd Smith, Symphony Workforce
Dr. Nathan Barry, Metropolitan Community College
Together, they’ll share how microcredentials are being used to support hiring strategies, enhance onboarding, and create meaningful career mobility.
What you’ll walk away with:
A clear understanding of how microcredentials fit into modern talent strategy
Real-world examples of successful employer partnerships
Direct connections to organizations offering upskilling and reskilling solutions
Whether you’re in HR, workforce development, or organizational leadership, this is your opportunity to build a more agile, future-ready team.
