Workforce Readiness Conference
A virtual conference from The Teaching Professor
Live: November 10, 2026
and on-demand through February 10, 2027
The Workforce Readiness Conference is a one-day, virtual experience for professionals who support career development and workforce preparation—whether in education, training, talent development, or workforce systems. As skills-based hiring and workforce pathways evolve, this conference brings together practical strategies, proven models, and future-focused insights to help institutions prepare students for meaningful careers—not just their first job.
Join colleagues across the nation on November 10th for two dynamic plenary sessions and a robust lineup of expert-led concurrent sessions focused on experiential learning, skills-based curriculum design, employer partnerships, workforce pathways, technology-enabled career learning, and emerging trends shaping the future of work. You’ll hear from experts who are building scalable approaches that connect learning directly to workforce outcomes.
Can’t attend every session live? No problem. With on-demand access through February 10, 2027, you can explore sessions on your schedule, revisit key ideas, and turn inspiration into action when it works best for you.
