March 26 - 27, 2025 | Washington, D.C.
Advancing an Engaged, Agile, and Resilient Workforce
Imagine a day when every U.S. employer finds qualified people ready for the jobs they’re offering, when every adult has opportunities to gain valuable skills and secure engaging work, and every youth enters adulthood knowing pathways to a vibrant life await them. It’s the American Dream.
Yet, in today’s reality, employers struggle to find workers with the skills needed to fill their open positions. Education and career readiness systems must quickly adapt to teach new skillsets that match today’s jobs – and the jobs of the future. And the U.S. continues to battle a years-long labor shortage that experts say will exist for the next generation or longer.
The good news? The private and public sectors at the local, state, and federal level are committed to advancing an agile, engaged, and resilient workforce.
Now is an exciting time to be part of talent and workforce solutions our society so critically needs. Join us on March 26-27 at the U.S. Chamber headquarters and, together, let’s move Talent Forward across America.
At Talent Forward, we’ll dive into key issues and share the latest solutions on pressing topics such as:
- What barriers to workforce participation are the top priorities to solve? Where are we stifling growth, opportunity, and prosperity?
- How can we ensure learning, skills development, and career-pathing meets the needs of both employers and individuals and their families?
- When disruption happens, how resilient of an economy, workforce, and culture have we created?
