Artificial Intelligence & Emerging Technologies in Workforce Development
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies are transforming every aspect of the world of work, from how services are delivered to the skills employers demand. It is no longer enough to be aware of these changes; it’s now critical to understand both the opportunities and the challenges they present for organizations internally and for the job seekers they serve. AI has the potential to improve efficiency in service delivery, personalize training, and expand access to career pathways. At the same time, it raises important questions about equity, data privacy, and the future of human-centered work.
This panel will bring together experts to examine how workforce organizations can leverage AI responsibly, anticipate the skills shifts it is driving across industries, and build organizational capacity.
Topics will include:
- Practical applications of AI in workforce training and service delivery
- Ethical considerations, bias, and equity related to AI
- Preparing workers for emerging technology-driven industries
- Building organizational capacity

Mental Health, Well-being & the Future of Work
As workforce programs evolve, mental health and well-being have become central to creating environments where both individuals and organizations can thrive. For jobseekers, mental health challenges such as stress, trauma, or instability can be significant barriers to career success. For workforce professionals, burnout and “compassion fatigue” are increasingly pressing issues that impact program delivery and staff retention. At the same time, employers are recognizing that well-being is not just a benefit, but a critical factor in productivity, retention, and long-term sustainability.
This panel will explore how workforce organizations can integrate mental health and well-being into their programming and culture, ensuring that services are not only focused on skills and jobs, but also on the whole person. Panelists will share strategies for building resilient teams, addressing systemic stressors that affect participants, and adopting innovative practices that support sustainable career development.
Topics will include:
- Embedding mental health and well-being into workforce programming
- Supporting teams and participant resiliency in changing work environments
- Addressing the impacts of stress, burnout, and trauma on career pathways
- Exploring policies and practices that promote sustainable workforces

Employer Engagement & Industry Partnerships
Successful workforce development depends on strong collaboration with employers to ensure programs meet real labor market needs and anticipate future trends. Employers are not just end-users of talent but critical partners in shaping training, identifying skill gaps, and creating opportunities for jobseekers to enter and advance in high-demand fields. Yet building and sustaining these partnerships requires intentional strategies, trust, and alignment between workforce organizations and industry leaders.
This panel will showcase innovative approaches to employer engagement, from sector-based strategies to collaborative curriculum design, that ensure training programs remain relevant and responsive. Panelists will also explore how registered apprenticeships and other work-based learning models create strong pipelines into in-demand careers, benefiting both employers seeking skilled workers and jobseekers seeking sustainable employment.
Topics will include:
- Innovative approaches to employer engagement and partnership building
- Aligning workforce training with real-time industry demand
- Expanding registered apprenticeship and work-based learning opportunities
- Strengthening long-term workforce pipelines for high-demand sectors
