About the Conference

2015 Workforce of the Future Conference participants were inspired by Robert Reich's hopeful message about the importance of labor-management partnerships and the creation of good jobs. Conference participants also learned about how Michael Johnson rose from the stock room to the UPS Board Room through career development programs and how PG and E enhances the management skills of mid-level managers.
