Key Topics

  • Unpack the biggest questions around skills-based hiring and the speed of skill change. Hear directly from the experts—what’s working, what’s not, and what’s top-of-mind for leaders right now.

  • Discuss your questions about Lightcast's Speed of Skill Change report and NGA's report on Advancing Skills-Based Strategies in the Public Sector.

  • Explore everything from real-world examples of states reducing degree requirements to strategies for responding to rapid skill change.

Join the National Governors Association (NGA) and Lightcast for an interactive Q&A session on skills-based hiring and adapting to rapid skill change. Following the strong interest to our first skills webinar, Amanda Winters (NGA) and Matt Walsh (Lightcast) are back for a more interactive and open conversation built around your questions and the issues that matter most to you.

In our first session, we explored insights from Lightcast’s Speed of Skill Change report and NGA's Empowering Progress: Harnessing Skills-Based Strategies to Drive Public Sector report. These findings show how fast workforce needs are shifting—and what leaders can do to stay ahead.

Now, in this follow-up session, we’re opening the floor to your questions about this research. Bring your questions—or submit them in advance—and join us for this open and practical conversation.
