The Summit on the 21st Century Workforce, held June 20 in Washington,
D.C., was a rousing success as business, labor, academic, and government
leaders from across the country met to address the structural changes that are
affecting our workforce and our economy.
Attendees listened to a distinguished list of speakers and panelists
discussing the skills gap within the workforce, the demographics facing the
workforce, and the future of the workforce. (See AGENDA for a list of the speakers and the
day's events.
The entire event was webcast live on www.dol.gov.
In addition to the proceedings on the floor, the Summit was host to a
regional Job Fair that featured more than 125 local employers. Noting that the
Summit was actually enabling job seekers to find work, Secretary Chao said: "We are discussing
the theoretical and offering the practical." View speeches by the President, the Secretary, Alan Greenspan, or view a directory of all Summit speeches. View
