Opportunity Onramps is a one-day workforce development conference put on by Workday. It’s designed for any organization interested in providing training, internship, and job opportunities for nontraditional candidates from diverse backgrounds.
Opportunity Onramps offers valuable perspectives geared toward corporate recruiters, HRBPs, D&I leaders, and corporate social impact professionals. This event is relevant for anyone who wants to hire more diverse candidates, tap into new talent pools, and help individuals who lack access to opportunity reach financial security through work—all while helping our communities and businesses succeed.
