Last week, the women of YUPRO Placement had an incredible experience at American Staffing Association's Staffing World 2024! Being surrounded by industry leaders and innovators left the team inspired, grateful, and motivated to continue pushing the boundaries of what #staffing can achieve. From energizing keynotes at #ASATHRIVE Live, to impactful roundtables, and a packed Expo hall, the team is excited to bring these ideas back to better support our community, talent, and clients. Here's to the #FutureofStaffing and the partnerships committed to building sustainable and inclusive career pathways for all contingent workers. #StaffingWorld #SW2024

Last week, nearly 200 Year Up United alumni from across the nation gathered at the 13th Annual National Alumni Summit in San Francisco—an inspiring event that brought together passion, purpose, and community. YUPRO Placement, alongside incredible partners like Lyft, First Citizens Bank, Bank of America, the Golden State Warriors, and Encore Apparel, proudly supported this year's summit. With the theme From Action to Impact, attendees had opportunities to network, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations about how we can work together to close the #OpportunityDivide. To top it off, Brandon Lovell, a proud Year Up alum and YUPRO Placement Board of Directors member, presented our proceeds check on our behalf for $180,000 to the Year Up United Alumni Association! Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to this incredible event! 💙 #YearUpUnited #YUPROPlacement
