Human Capital Watch: Driving Recovery Through A Highly Skilled Workforce

The post-pandemic economy and the acceleration of technological transformation could permanently reduce demand for low-skill workers and require aggressive reskilling to build a large and fully competitive US workforce and reduce inequality.

Even before the global pandemic’s onslaught, preparing the future workforce to drive rapidly advancing technology in an increasingly competitive global economy while minimizing the adverse fallout from these trends was one of the nation’s most significant challenges.

The pace of change, now made more urgent by COVID-19, demands a workforce of life-long learners who continuously upgrade their technical skills and those skills valued by employers that cannot be automated.

As an attendee of this webcast, you will hear the following topics:

  • The impact of COVID-19 on the workforce 
  • The leading skills in demand in the post-pandemic economy 
  • How the US can prepare and train the American workforce for the demands of the next economy 
  • The main components of a comprehensive, collaborative strategy for preparing, upskilling, and reskilling a future-ready workforce 

Who Should Attend: Business leaders, training providers, educators, public policy leaders, and anyone with an interest in learning and development, reskilling, and upskilling.
