Technical Employment in Santa Barbara, 2015

Our annual technical employment panel is always popular and informative. Find out how  economic recovery is affecting the Santa Barbara technical job market. Will job opportunities return? Will new job descriptions emerge? What skill sets are likely to be in demand, and what jobs are now hard to find or hard to fill? What are the predictions for future technical employment?

 
The Science and Engineering Council’s own Gary Kravetz will moderate a panel of technical recruiters and human resources managers from local technical companies. The panelists will discuss their views on the Santa Barbara technical job marketplace. Confirmed panelists include:

       Debbie Aronow, Technical Recruiter;
                        Volt Workforce Solutions

       Carolyn Gamberutti, Director, Human Resources;
                        Channel Technologies Group

       Michael Daoud, President, Visus LLC


Arrangements for additional panelists are underway; Q & A will follow the presentations.

Moderator: Gary Kravetz 

Our moderator Gary Kravetz is the former CEO of NCC Executive Search and Santa Barbara Staffing. He currently is an active member of SCORE, Tech Coast Angels & several technical company boards of directors. Prior to his last 15 years as a recruiter, Gary was an Engineering manager at Hughes Aircraft  and at his own engineering design company. Gary is  Co-President of the Science and Engineering Council.

This meeting is sponsored in part by Reicker, Pfau, Pyle and McRoy, Attorneys

Our meetings are held at the Santa Barbara Elks Club at 150 N. Kellogg Avenue, just off Calle Real in Goleta. Please park on the mountain side of the Elks building and use the front door. SEC meets in the first room to the left. When you RSVP, you can choose either the hot meal option or an endless salad and soup bar. (If you do not RSVP, you will be limited to the salad bar option only.) Both options include drinks and dessert. 

From our Co-Presidents:     Increased food costs have made it necessary for us to raise prices. We continue to work with the Elks Club to provide attractive food choices for our members at the lowest price available. Please join us also for our April 8 meeting featuring this year's Science Fair winners!
