4:20 PM Boardroom A: Learning as a Benefit: Rethinking University Partnerships for Today's Workforce

With $8.5 trillion in projected lost revenue due to talent shortages by 2030 and gen AI reshaping the competencies employers need almost overnight, the pressure on learning leaders has never been greater. Yet many organizations are still relying on the same university partnership models that weren't built for today's workforce. 

This session will explore how innovative higher education collaborations can drive measurable talent outcomes. Join the conversation to explore:

Why most university partnerships fall short and the best practices that separate transactional programs from transformational ones
A proven framework for evaluating skills gaps, curating the right academic partners, and co-creating curriculum that maps directly to your workforce needs
Real-world case studies from organizations that have unlocked retention, promotion, and performance gains through targeted university partnerships
