The Northern Utah Employer Exchange: Solve Problems — Together



Thank you to everyone who joined us for NUEX 2025! The conversation we started isn't over. Stay tuned for more NUEX-related events from Weber State University. 

 

At the Northern Utah Employer Exchange (NUEX), we believe the best solutions are built together. Join northern Utah business and nonprofit leaders, alongside Weber State University faculty and administration, to collaboratively solve problems such as:

  • Hiring and Recruitment: Attracting the right people at the right time 
  • Retention: Keeping your best employees engaged and committed 
  • Generational Differences: Bridging gaps and maximizing team potential
  • Workforce Training: Advising higher education on building high-quality programs that meet industry needs

NUEX is your unique opportunity to directly influence how higher education prepares the workforce. 

Agenda

  • Tackle shared workforce challenges

What NUEX is:

A Bridge Between Weber State University and Industry – NUEX was created to strengthen partnerships between WSU and various industries, particularly in northern Utah.

Industry-Driven – The event was designed for industry leaders to communicate their needs. Weber State is here to listen, understand and support.

A Collaborative Forum – NUEX brings Weber State subject matter experts from across campus to engage with industry professionals in a meaningful and impactful way.

A Tool for Strengthening Industry/University Relationships – NUEX will help position WSU as an ally to industry partners across northern Utah, reinforcing the university’s role in workforce development.

What NUEX isn't:

A One-Sided Event – This is not a traditional conference where WSU presents information to industry. Instead, the focus is on listening to industry leaders and working together to understand problems and begin to develop solutions. 

Your Typical Academic Event – NUEX is about shaping education to better align with industry needs, fostering collaboration beyond a single event or discussion.

A Passive Initiative – This is a discovery-oriented event, designed to generate actionable outcomes and partnerships rather than just discussions.

Limited to One Industry or Organization – NUEX is a cross-industry and university-wide initiative, not confined to any single industry. Every organization will have the opportunity to discover.

A One-Time Event – NUEX is built to create ongoing partnership with the goal of fostering continuous collaboration between industry and academia. NUEX is the start of a longer conversation.
