Description

As the labor market continues to evolve, so must the systems that prepare people for it. This panel brings together leaders reshaping workforce development and leading innovation at the local, state, and national level. From rethinking credentialing and scaling skills-first hiring, to aligning training with industry needs and investing in equitable access to opportunity, this conversation will surface what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what experts see on the horizon as workforce systems adapt to new technologies, shifting demographics, and a rapidly changing economy.
