What: Step outside your own perspective, and see our work through other lenses. Join us in the nation’s capitol for a fascinating day of interaction and conversation with workforce development professionals from around the world. Workforce International Day is designed to spark new learning, new ideas and fresh approaches tapping the global strength of those dedicated to workforce excellence.
Who should attend?
Workforce Development Professionals: Get a first-hand look at how other countries are helping people get back to work, gain new skills, and organize to help communities and economies recover from the Great Recession.
Private Sector Workforce Investment Board Members: How does the public workforce system work in other countries? Take away invaluable information for companies that have, or want to have, a global reach and need skilled workers both here and abroad.
Education, Economic Development and Workforce Organizations and Stakeholders, Policymakers, Businesses, Chambers, and Industry Associations: Finding workforce talent solutions to these issues is a critical factor in getting Americans back to work and helping businesses compete globally. Tap into global strategies to help companies look at innovative ways to capture the workforce talent they need to be successful and manage the ongoing factors that are quickly shifting the market.
Why a global approach?
Workforce stakeholders across the globe are on the front line solving problems of high unemployment, stagnant growth, staggering youth unemployment, and suffering economies. These common issues require nations to share innovative approaches, leverage our talents and invent new strategies. Interactive sessions are designed to share best practices, examine new models, and put ideas into action.
