A session from our Elite Underwriter.

As the federal government faces an increasingly complex and rapidly changing landscape, the need to transform the workforce has never been more urgent. With the rise of AI, automation, and emerging technologies, federal agencies must adapt quickly to stay ahead of the curve. But how can you ensure your workforce has the skills to thrive in an AI-driven world?

In this discussion, we'll share IBM's point of view on skills transformation, highlighting the critical role AI plays in identifying, developing, and deploying the skills of the future for the federal workforce. We'll explore how AI-powered solutions can help federal agencies:
• Analyze their workforce's current skills gaps and future needs
• Develop personalized learning pathways to upskill and reskill employees
• Create a culture of continuous learning and innovation
• Foster a workforce that's agile, adaptable, and equipped to drive mission success

Drawing on IBM's expertise in AI, HR, and workforce transformation, we'll provide real-world examples and best practices for implementing AI-powered skills transformation strategies that drive mission outcomes in the federal sector. Join us to learn how you can future-proof your workforce, improve citizen services, and stay ahead of the curve in the AI era.
