Future of Work - an ASTD STL Members Only Event!

Another ASTD STL Members Only Event! Please join us for this complimentary (Members Only) panel discussion.

To be successful in the next decade, individuals will need to demonstrate foresight in navigating a rapidly shifting landscape of organizational forms and skill requirements. They will increasingly be called upon to continually reassess the skills they need, and quickly put together the right resources to develop and update these.

Businesses must also be alert to the changing environment and adapt their workforce planning and development strategies to ensure alignment with future skill requirements. Strategic human resource professionals might reconsider traditional methods for identifying critical skills, as well as selecting and developing talent. A workforce strategy for sustaining business goals should be one of the most critical outcomes of human resource professionals, and should involve collaborating with universities to address lifelong learning and skill requirements.

Event Overview:

The Future of Work event will gather business professionals across diverse industries to discuss the real world implications of findings from the Future Work Skills 2020 research study. This discussion will be moderated by Future Work Skills 2020 co-author, Dr. Tracey Wilen-Daugenti, a leading authority on the convergence of education, technology, and work.  Expectations from this dynamic panel discussion include continued alignment of developmental resources with business needs and projections for the future needs of our St. Louis workforce.
