SUMMARY:Today's Jobs and Tomorrow's: The importance of Centering Digital Equity
DESCRIPTION:Digital transformation is changing where\, how\, and when we work and learn\, as well as the skills needed for economic advancement. Use of digital tools extends across all industries\, and the tools workers are expected to use change frequently Today\, over 90% of jobs require digital skills\, yet nearly a third of all workers lack foundational digital skills\, much less the advanced skills and digital resilience required for high-wage careers. Digital equity—access to the internet and devices as well as digital skills—is an essential component of equitable economic advancement. Employers\, educators\, and policymakers all play a role in ensuring that everyone is able to participate fully in work\, learning\, and civic life. This session will highlight the critical importance of digital skills for all learners and workers. We will discuss innovative policies\, partnerships\, and strategies for advancing digital equity and the untapped potential for impact.

SUMMARY:NSC Fireside Chat: U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm
DESCRIPTION:NSC CEO Andy Van Kleunen joins Secretary Jennifer Granholm to hear how the U.S. Department of Energy is implementing federal investments and partnering with agencies across the government to develop our nation’s clean energy workforce. \nAugust 2022 the Biden Administration passed the Inflation Reduction Act\, making historic investments to protect and improve land\, water\, air\, and health in underserved communities. Along with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the CHIPS and Science Act\, these investments hold the potential to create and transform millions of jobs. The Department of Energy’s focus now is to channel these federal dollars into our local communities\, particularly those that are disadvantaged\, marginalized\, and underserved. These same communities have limited access to high-quality\, inclusive skills training to fill clean energy jobs. \nHear from Secretary Granholm about the steps her agency is taking not only for cleaner\, smarter\, and more affordable energy services\, but to also support high-quality\, inclusive skills training that will leverage the talent of America’s workers to power a clean energy future. \nModerator: Andy Van Kleunen\, CEO\, National Skills Coalition \nFeatured Guest: U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm\, U.S. Department of Energy
