Remember that time when you were unafraid to blow out candles on cakes, battled peak-hour traffic and crowded in small unventilated spaces?

That time has gone.

The way we live has changed along with changing workforce demands looking for new skills and knowledge.

This time of rapid change begs some pressing questions for our Island state and beyond. In the face of labour shortages and a technological boom, how can we retain and attract workers in a sustainable way?  What should we be doing to prepare the education and training needs to meet future workforce demands?  What does all this mean for our broader community and the expectations on youth, particularly those in regional communities?

Join our expert panel online at 5pm on Wednesday 4 May to discuss this and more.

Panel:

• Dr Mark Dean, Laurie Carmichael Distinguished Research Fellow, Centre for Work, The Australia Institute
• Professor Kitty te Riele, Deputy Director (Research), Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment, University of Tasmania
• Dr Brendan Churchill, ARC Fellow, Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne

Hosted by Professor Peter Fairbrother, Better Work and Wellbeing Research Group, Tasmanian School of Business and Economics, University of Tasmania.
