Our Spring Series
in partnership with
The Future of Work
Globalization. Automation. Underemployment and the gig economy. What are the trends that have been shaping patterns of work? How will government, industry, and educators respond to the new opportunities and challenges created by change? Just as importantly, how do people imagine new possibilities in their local roles as workers and citizens in a global and tech-driven economy, so that we can positively affect the future of work?
Now archived on the World Affairs Council's YouTube page.
Public invited. No reservations needed.
Free to view.
You'll still have the typical World Affairs Council ability to send in a question of the speaker-experts during the live presentations. And you’ll also be able to catch them afterwards as archived videos.
