“FM the Future- Solving the Talent Gap”

Everyone has been discussing the talent gap for years. Learn how the gap affects you- in a positive way.

Research shows an annual gap of approximately 6,000 FM workers in California. Keeping up pace with the looming loss of FMs requires faster more targeted upskilling and talent management than ever. It will take a village and a community of FM professionals dedicated to solving the problem. The International Facilities Management Association Foundation’s Global Workforce Initiative (GWI) has created that village and we are working with business educational institutions, government agencies, economic and workforce development, and, most important y, International Facilities Management Association San Fernando Valley members and chapters like International Facilities Management Association San Fernando Valley to provide new approaches to tack e the talent problem ensuring that we have the FM workers for today and in the future. This initiative addresses the triple bottom line of Economy, Equity, and Environment. Meeting the FM talent demand is critical to the energy efficiency of more than 10 billion square feet of commercial buildings in California. This session will showcase how the International Facilities Management Association Foundation and International Facilities Management Association San Fernando Valley are making a difference in the FM talent gap while at the same time positively impacting California’s bottom line.
