Human Capital Quarterly: Kickoff & Keynote
What is Human Capital Quarterly?
The nature of work is changing fast. Presented by DC Public Library and Levy, the Human Capital Quarterly forum features workshops and talks led by local training programs, community-based upskilling initiatives, professional organizations, and industry leaders with real workforce insight. The goal is simple: bring together a wider range of contributors to the National Capital Region's workforce to share ideas and to lead practical, hands-on sessions.
Who it's for
If you're jobseeking, or simply someone who knows that work in this next decade is going to shift rapidly, join us for hands-on programming and conversations on April 14th. We'll have a special focus on climate and energy throughout the day, but the conversations will be relevant for anyone thinking about how to pivot their career, future-proof their skills, and navigate the uncertain future ahead of us all. We want people to come and engage with the range of opportunities and networks available to them for building skills, exploring careers, and making connections.
The Kickoff & Keynote: 12:00pm-1:15pm
The day opens with remarks from the organizers on what Human Capital Quarterly is and why it exists — and then moves into a fireside chat with an economic development leader in local government and a think tank researcher focused on workforce policy and AI.
The conversation will ground the day in the big picture: what's shifting in the labor market, what that means for the DC region, and what it takes to stay ahead of it.
