Can Community Reskilling Help Build Back Better?
Description:
The pandemic has caused an “automation-forcing event” that not only accelerated economic trends — but may forever alter the future of work. To build a more equitable recovery, local leaders are collaborating with employers and training providers to help entire communities thrive in a rapidly evolving labor market. At this panel, join employers and community leaders to hear how such an approach worked in Louisville—and how those lessons can inform the country’s efforts to build back better.
