Explore the power of diversity with insights from IPC President John Mitchell, filmed on location at APEX 2024. John explains why inclusion of diverse talent pools leads to proven benefits like profitability and innovation. John describes the intricacies of fostering diversity within our workforce, explaining how a mix of backgrounds and perspectives is akin to a potpourri that enlivens the senses and enriches our work environments. From gender diversity to hiring neurally diverse individuals, we uncover inspiring strategies that underscore diversity as a strategic business advantage.

We also dig into how IPC aids companies in nurturing an inclusive culture, including the success stories of organizations like Microboard and Pride Industries, who are actively embracing inclusivity. John and I share anecdotes of how IPC's accessible training materials and programs, such as the apprenticeship program, pave the way for transformative personal and professional growth, turning overlooked potential into star employees.
