Are You Investing in the Workforce of Tomorrow or the Workforce of Yesterday?
Gregory Cappelli, Jared Bernstein, David Burstein, Edith Cooper, John Donovan, Seth Harris, Greg Capelli, John Aucott, Jr., Mike Milkinson, Serena Ross
Moderated by Greg Capelli, a diverse panel of experts from the U.S. Department of Labor, AT&T, and Goldman Sachs debates whether a genuine skills gap exists or if the issue stems from poor employer preparation and outdated hiring models. Participants cite AT&T's successful reskilling initiative and Goldman Sachs' cultural pivot as evidence that defining roles by competency rather than job title can drastically improve retention and adaptability among millennial workers. Despite these corporate successes, the discussion concludes that systemic challenges like the gig economy's shift of training costs to individuals and automation threats to low-skill sectors require new policy frameworks and a fundamental rethinking of benefit structures.

Demystifying Millennials
Lori Kozlowski, Matthew Siegel, Maeve Quarin, Christy Garten, David Burstein
This panel examines the trillion-dollar economic influence of Millennials, the largest generation in history, as they navigate severe economic headwinds while driving demand for pragmatic idealism in the workplace and politics. Key figures highlight the tension between high social progressive values and persistent challenges such as student debt, delayed homeownership, and historically low voter turnout. Consequently, the discussion outlines a shifting landscape where employers must offer purposeful growth to retain talent and political groups like Run for America strive to mobilize youth through bold policy proposals rather than incremental reform.
