  • Date : May 25, 2021 12:00 PM Mountain Time
  • Meeting Type : Webcast

The challenge of the skills gap continues to be a priority for higher education and employers alike. Join WCET as we bring together a panel of thought leaders from George Mason University, the Office of Workforce Development for the State of Missouri, and Wiley Education Services to discuss the current state of the skills gap, the paramount role education plays in closing it, and the value partnerships bring as we work toward closing it together.

Additionally, educators and administrators will be treated to insights from the recent Reimagining the Workforce 2021: Closing the Skills Gap Through Education report. This report highlights responses from a survey of over 600 HR and Learning and Development leaders across a variety of industries. Topics include how the business community values traditional degrees and certifications, the perceived life span of skills, and in-demand skills to consider.

Register today for “The State of the Skills Gap: Connecting Education with Career Outcomes” on May 25 at 11:00 AM PDT / Noon MDT / 1:00 PM CDT / 2:00 PM EDT. WCET webcasts take place via Zoom.
