Artificial intelligence, demographic shifts, and evolving employer needs are reshaping what it takes to succeed. As Dane County and Wisconsin continue to grow, what skills will workers need not only to get a job, but to build family-sustaining careers? This conversation will explore the durable skills employers value most, how colleges and training providers are adapting to a rapidly changing labor market, and what pathways can help more learners access economic opportunity. Session preceded by reception starting at 5 p.m.
