The Future of the Workforce, Today and Tomorrow

April 21, 2022 from 4 to 6 pm 

University of Arizona – Student Union Grand Ballroom 

Presented by the MAP Dashboard 

Everywhere you look there are Help Wanted signs. Filling today’s jobs is a hot topic and tomorrow’s workforce is uncertain. All of this impacts you, whether you’re a job seeker, an employer or someone trying to purchase a service or product.  

Find out why this is such an important issue, why it happened and what we can do about it. The Making Action Possible (MAP) Dashboard, Arizona Daily Star and the University of Arizona are partnering to create a thought-provoking event to explore the challenges we’re facing, the risk to all of us, and what we can do today to shape tomorrow.

Learn the facts and examine the trends about the behavior of our workforce from MAP Dashboard Director Jennifer Pullen. Other speakers include University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins, Pima Community College Chancellor Lee Lambert, Pima JTED Superintendent/CEO Kathy Prather, Arizona Commerce Authority President Sandra Watson, along with Mister Carwash CEO John Lai, TMC Health Network Senior VP and Chief Human Resources Officer Alex Horvath, UNS Energy/TEP President & CEO Susan Gray and Roche Tissue Diagnostics President Jill German.

Cost is $10 including free parking in the Second Street Garage (1340 E 2nd Street).  

Seating is limited, so reserve your place today!
