Speed of Skill Change
The workforce is evolving at an unprecedented rate. In fact, the average job has seen one-third of its skills change in just three years—and for some occupations, that number jumps to over 75%. Learn more about the rapid acceleration of skill disruption reshaping the job market, discover how the shifting demands on workers are impacting every industry/occupation, and understand what it means for talent strategy, workforce development, and organizational competitiveness.
Through Lightcast’s extensive labor market data and latest "Speed of Skill Change" report, Susan Koehn, Senior Consultant at Lightcast will provide strategies and insights to help organizations understand and adapt to the changing landscape.
Leading With Purpose: Building Trust & Driving Success
Leaders play a critical role in building and maintaining a strong company culture. Learn how defined values, authenticity, transparency, and consistency can transform teams and drive success. Leadership isn't just about transactions—it’s about empowerment and building trust.
