If your company has work-based learning programs that train, reskill, and upskill temporary and contract talent, you could earn national recognition by submitting an entry to the ASA Elevate Awards program.

The program, now in its third year, honors outstanding, innovative, and effective work-based learning programs designed specifically for temporary and contract employees. Being named as one of the best in the industry is a valuable tool your company can use to sell to clients and engage with talent.

The deadline for all ASA award program submissions has been extended to July 17. To learn more and apply, visit americanstaffing.net/awards.
