What's Talent Jam?

A one-of-a-kind pitch event where job seekers and employers connect through 1-minute open-mic elevator pitches.

Not only are Talent Jams a great way for job seekers to connect with potential employers and employers to local talent, but participants learn the essential skill of effectively pitching their talents professionally.

What's Talent Jam?

Master Your 1-Minute Elevator Pitch

Talent Jams consist of a two-part program. First are live, 1-minute, open mic pitches, where both job seekers and employers describe their talents or talent needs to the audience. Next is casual networking that's made more authentic and natural by the context gained from the pitches.

Have Talent

(Job Seekers)

You’re awesome and you’ve got 60 seconds to tell local businesses just what makes you a badass team member. Let that personality shine, friend!

Need Talent

(Employers)

You have 60 seconds to tell the best local talent why your organization rocks. Don’t just tell them what jobs you have open, tell everyone why they want to work with you!
