October 29th, 2026 | 10 am – 12 pm PST This panel will examine how colleges, employers, workforce organizations, public agencies, and community partners can work together to connect people to the careers emerging from recovery. We'll discuss where the greatest workforce needs are developing, how education and training programs can keep pace, and what employers need from workforce partners. Whether you develop workforce programs, hire talent, teach students, or shape public policy, you'll leave understanding where recovery and workforce opportunities intersect.
