Grand Hyatt Hotel
109 East 42nd Street

DETAILS:
One of the biggest challenges facing employers today is finding individuals with the relevant skills to grow their business, fill leadership pipelines and meet their current and future needs. But rather than looking externally to find individuals with those in-demand skills, organizations can benefit from developing their own internal talent to gain the necessary skills needed to be successful.
During BMO Capital Markets' Annual Back to School Conference, David Blake, Degreed's CEO and co-founder, joins a panel discussion to address the growing skills gaps and share his insights on how employers can fill them. Blake will discuss the reality of people learning from a wide range of sources, both formally and informally, throughout their lives and how companies can and must take advantage of it. He will also address the need to track, discover and recognize all lifelong learning in order to ensure people have the skills to help their organizations thrive as they develop their careers.
Attendees of BMO Capital Markets' 16th Annual Back to School Conference who wish to learn more about how to fill skills gaps by developing internal talent are encouraged to attend this session.
