Intended Audience: Intermediate

Today, continuous skill acquisition and measurement are not just aspirations but necessities in a world where skills are ever evolving and can rapidly become obsolete. According to ETS’s 2024 Human Progress Report, 75% of global respondents acknowledged that their current skills may become outdated as technology and industries evolve. This panel will bring together thought leaders from Accenture, ETS, and SHRM to discuss how skills-based talent ecosystems are revolutionizing the future of work on a global scale. Panelists will explore how companies can build more inclusive, agile, and diverse talent pipelines by focusing on measuring both durable and technical skills through emerging platforms that identify and assess talent across industries. Attendees will leave with knowledge about how skills-based hiring practices can help bridge the talent gap, enhance workforce development, and drive business success.
