Panel: Skills Employers Will Want in 2020 (Room Exhibit Hall A)

According to a recent report from the World Economic Forum, negotiation skills, emotional intelligence, and people management will be incredibly important skills for new hires to have mastery over. And on top of this, complex problem-solving will be the most valuable skill an employee can have. 

 This panel will discuss:
  •  Regardless of gender, how do we measure, evaluate, and perceive these skills?
  •  As employers, how do we help our employees develop them?
  •  As employees, how do we get them? 
  •  Do these skills even apply to our industry?
  •  Do these skills better appeal to females?  
  •  Are they in the so-called wheelhouse of females, and/or can they help to increase the number of women in STEM careers?
