This session will focus on upskilling Latinos and transforming America’s education and training systems to ensure they are equipped for leadership in the technological revolution. In an ever-changing workforce environment, building resilience for Latinos is critical, with an emphasis on skill development and career readiness. While a four-year degree remains valuable, barriers such as college affordability and inequities in K-12 education persist. Experts will explore how initiatives like Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), partnerships, and philanthropic efforts can reduce costs, improve access, and help Latinos build the skills necessary for long-term success in a dynamic economy.
