More than 500 people, young adult jobseekers and recruiters –  offering positions on the spot – will descend downtown May 15 for the annual Future at Work Summit hosted by nonprofit talent acquisition expert LeadersUp. This year’s theme is “From Hi to Hired,” and there will be experts to guide employers in how to adopt inclusive hiring practices that do not automatically leave out justice-involved young adults.
