International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Webinar: COVID-19: Workforce, Labor, and Skills in a Recovery Economy
May 11, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) is hosting a webinar on COVID-19: Workforce, Labor, and Skills in a Recovery Economy on Monday, May 11th, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the experience of workers in our economy – from those who are filing for unemployment for the first time to those who are living through the strain of being deemed “essential”. With workers re-evaluating their careers, and companies re-evaluating their practices and labor needs, this crisis becomes an inflection point for those concerned with workforce development. In this webinar, four experts will provide insight into what economic development organizations can be doing at this time.
The webinar will cover:
- workers who have lost their jobs who are in need of training,
- increased interest in relocation,
- longstanding needs for more skilled workers in many growing industries, and
- utilizing data to address skills gap.
