THE FUTURE OF WORK

Co-hosted by the San Diego Economic Development Corporation, City of San Diego, California Community College San Diego Imperial Counties Regional Consortia and the San Diego Workforce Partnership

Artificial intelligence, the rise of gig economy platforms, and a new wave of automation will further change the future of work and the skill sets required to thrive in the workforce. How will employers be impacted? How can workers upskill to avoid becoming stranded? Understanding shifts in the future of work can help policy makers, employers, and workers move forward on strategies to ensure California’s economic resilience.
