Talent Tipsheet - Timely articles and insights delivered every other Wednesday with ideas on how you can recruit, train and incorporate Gen Y employees into your workforce.  

Elements of Industrial Distribution - Online training courses that are ideal for orienting new staff, preparing interns, transitioning employees into new positions or broadening the understanding of employees in niche roles. Best of all, these courses are offered at a discount to NAHAD members!

Job Board - NAHAD members save $50 each time they post a job on the ICP Job Board. Use this industry-targeted online tool to find your next best employee. Contact Amy Luckado,  for your discount code.

Become an ICP Ambassador- A key component of the ICP initiative happens in the communities where distributors live, do business and have an economic impact. It is there, at the local level, that distributors need to find those early-career distribution professionals. It is there, at the local level, that employees and potential employees need training and education options, information and access to distributors.
