AZASSP October Technical Meeting FY23

This month’s technical meeting will be a presentation/overview about working contract jobs (aka the gig economy) and will be facilitated by representatives from YellowBird.

The presentation will focus on:

1. A better understanding of the gig economy as it relates to safety personnel
2. Resume tips and tricks to freshen up your resume in 2022
3. Why upskilling is important and how you can use it to add to your income

A brief abstract:  The post-pandemic labor landscape widened the knowledge gap, increasing risk, and threatening workers’ health and safety. An emerging trend invites highly skilled professionals to return through a reimagined gig economy marketplace that offers higher pay and flexibility. We’ll cover the top five megatrends in gig labor marketplaces and demonstrate success with Risk, Health and Safety professionals.
