How do we make sense of our career pathways efforts here in Virginia?
New research based on millions of "Help Wanted" ads shows that employers overwhelmingly require technology-related skills, across all industries and most occupations. In this briefing, get an early peek at newly-released data from the National Skills Coalition. In addition to national data, Virginia-specific findings will be shared to help inform workforce development and adult/higher education partners as you respond to the changing labor market. Bring your questions!
On Thursday, February 23, from 1:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m., Senior Fellow, Amanda Bergson-Shilcock from the National Skills Coalition will be presenting via Zoom on how businesses' need for workers with digital skills differs across demographic factors such as educational level or years of experience. Get practical examples of how digital skills are showing up in occupations as diverse as construction workers, home health aides, retail employees, and frontline manufacturing workers.
Please share this webinar event with your network and workforce partners. All are welcome!
