About the Summit:

As the nation rebuilds and makes strides toward recovery, we need an approach to putting Americans back to work that is simple, fast, and employer-led. It must address immediate employment needs while also laying the foundation for a modernized, adaptive, and resilient workforce development system. Such a system must work for both workers and employers, and it must be a driver of economic growth and long-term competitiveness.
 
Please join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on June 2, 2021 at 3:00 pm ET, for Workforce: A Call to Action. This event will bring together stakeholders in government and industry in conversation around workforce training as an important investment for both recovery and long-term economic needs. 
 
Stay tuned for more details on the agenda and our speakers - coming soon - and register here.
