Stanley Black & Decker today announced that CEO Jim Loree will join the World Economic Forum to partake in a global panel discussion virtually tomorrow, June 2, from 12:00-12:45pm EST, along with Sharan Burrow, General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC); Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Organization (ILO); Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO, Coursera Inc.; and Allen Blue, Co-Founder, LinkedIn.
The discussion, moderated by Francine Lacqua of Bloomberg TV, will address the question, “How can governments support workforce development and how should investments be deployed to support new job creation and policies implemented to accelerate growth in the jobs of tomorrow?”
Loree will share his opinions on the need for a skilled workforce to increase economic growth and to close the divisions in society that were exacerbated by COVID-19. He will discuss his views on the need for businesses and governments to create comprehensive approaches to workforce and to make skilling affordable, accessible and inclusive.
