Solving the Workforce Puzzle: Using Automation to Connect Talent, Training, and Employers

As workforce recruitment and training concerns continue to emerge from BR&E visits, communities are seeking better ways to align partners, reduce duplication, and make their workforce ecosystem easier for employers and job seekers to navigate.

To address this need, Golden Shovel Agency is introducing EcoMap to our economic development community as an automation tool designed to meet this moment. EcoMap’s AI-powered platform centralizes workforce resources, education and training providers, and employer connections in one place, turning fragmented information into a coordinated ecosystem. The result is a more responsive, scalable approach to supporting local businesses and strengthening workforce outcomes across the community.

Join us for a webinar with EcoMap co-founder and CEO Sherrod Davis to learn:

  • The Automation Edge: How to use AI to centralize dispersed workforce assets into one navigable map.
  • Sustaining Federal Dollars: How mapping your ecosystem positions your community to win (and sustain) federal workforce grants.
  • Data-Driven BR&E: How to give employers the resource clarity they demand during retention visits.
