A Gartner study found 33% of the skills needed in an average job posting from 2019 are no longer necessary in 2024.

Join this session to discuss:

• Planning for challenges that result in talent gaps
• Anticipating evolving job responsibilities
• Implementing a formal development program aimed at future skills
