In the summer of 2018, the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) and the
Bertelsmann Foundation
(BFNA) kicked off a series of dialogues in several cities and regions with vastly different economic and occupational profiles to learn how technology and automation – “the future of work” – is impacting workers, businesses, labor markets, industries, and, more generally, the community at large.
NAWB and BFNA visited three cities: Orlando, Florida; Las Vegas, Nevada, Riverside, California, where they partnered with local workforce boards to convene leaders in business, education, workforce development, and government to discuss the future of work and its impact locally. From these conversations, BFNA developed a microsite that highlights key analysis, video content, and other insights derived from research conducted during the visits.
