[Day 1] For Talent, By Talent: An Intergenerational Dialogue on Future Workforce

Event Details

Talent acquisition and retention have always been a big topic for different sectors. We often address the issue from a corporate angle, but for the young talent, what's their take on this?

What role can the private sector play to contribute to the talent supply in Hong Kong? What are some innovative solutions and strategies to address the talent shortage? What are the younger generations looking for in their career and how can we help young talent thrive in the future of work?

Join us for an interactive, intergenerational dialogue on trends and priorities of future-proof talent. Our panel will consist of an AmCham Future Leader, a senior executive and an expert from academia. The event will be followed by a short networking mixer.

AmCham Future of Work 2.0 is a week-long experience for business leaders and corporates to understand the latest trends and technologies that shape the modern workplace and navigate the complex work environment. Check out the other events in the series here.
