Join the National Governors Association (NGA) and Lightcast for an essential on-demand webinar on how to build a resilient workforce through skills-based hiring.
Skills-based practices transform talent acquisition by focusing on candidates’ skills, competencies, and relevant experience over traditional qualifications like degrees—leading to better job matches, reduced turnover, and increased job satisfaction. In this webinar, we share insights from the NGA report on advancing skills-based strategies in the public sector.
We also explore findings from Lightcast’s Speed of Skill Change report. Over the past three years, one-third of the skills required for the average job have changed—transforming industries, disrupting talent pipelines, and challenging leaders to keep up. Learn how to stay ahead of the change.
