The Talent Exchange: Pathways to What's Next

​The Talent Exchange is a new series designed to bring together HR leaders, early talent recruiters, and postsecondary partners to explore the breadth of talent pathways across Washington. Through a mix of lunch sessions and a culminating summit, the series will surface data, insights, and perspectives to help employers better understand and engage with students and graduates from postsecondary institutions statewide. 

​Each session will offer a different lens — from workforce trends to cross-sector dialogue — creating space for shared learning and relationship-building that may lead to more inclusive and connected hiring practices across the state. 

​The second event examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping hiring and access. From résumé screening to predictive analytics, AI is influencing who gets opportunities—and who may be left out. 

​Hear from industry and education leaders as they unpack the promise and pitfalls of AI in hiring. Expect candid dialogue on bias, opportunity, and innovation, with space for reflection and shared strategies across sectors.
