Next-Gen Talent: How to Upskill Latinos and Transform America's Education and Training
This session will focus on upskilling Latinos and transforming America’s education and training systems to ensure they are equipped for leadership in the technological revolution. In an ever-changing workforce environment, building resilience for Latinos is critical, with an emphasis on skill development and career readiness. While a four-year degree remains valuable, barriers such as college affordability and inequities in K-12 education persist. Experts will explore how initiatives like Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), partnerships, and philanthropic efforts can reduce costs, improve access, and help Latinos build the skills necessary for long-term success in a dynamic economy.
