Sharing the Vision: Navigating the Future Workforce Together
We’re seeking breakout presentations for Washington Workforce Association’s annual fall conference.
Conference overview: Workforce professionals, business leaders, and labor leaders come together to learn best practices, network with one another, and take home solutions that can help put learning into action.
Breakouts can be either 75 or 90 minutes long, and should address one of the following five learning session themes:
