Workforce Development and Advanced Industries in Philadelphia
Continued technological advancement means that increasingly, the impacts of digitization are reaching into all sectors of the economy, and many different types of occupations. This raises important challenges for firms, workers, policy makers, and educators, all of whom are grappling with the progress and texture of these trends. At the same time, the demand for a digitally-equipped workforce may be creating new and different avenues into high-quality jobs, particularly for young people who may not follow conventional pathways toward a four-year university degree.
Learn what Brookings has discovered via their research on workforce development and advanced industries in Philadelphia, and what our esteemed panelists have to say about how this impacts economic growth. In response, Microsoft will discuss the role that increased access to the Cloud and digital skills can play in building your local economy.
