Come build the future of work and learning
Employers face an increasingly challenging environment to hire talented people, retain employees, and build a workforce for the future.
At the same time, our education systems have the potential to partner with employers to build career-connected opportunities into the core of how we learn.
There is not one path to success. There are as many pathways as there are people, and we need work and learning systems that embrace this abundance of human potential. We need to come together to build these diverse pathways of economic mobility, from learning to work that values the potential and gifts of each individual.
Our nation, our citizens, our learners and workers, and our employers need an education system and labor market that value aptitudes and skills of each person as the appropriate measures of potential, not college degrees as the one path to success.
Come to the Human Potential Summit to help build the future of work and learning. Collaborate with employers, educators, innovators, startups, investors, non profits, foundations, government, and policy makers who are working to build a better future.
Build a movement.
