The ACT Workforce Summit, to be held virtually in 2021, is a one-of-a-kind annual event designed to engage and build relationships with the many different stakeholders involved in workforce development. When we come together to connect and share different perspectives, everyone walks away armed with practical takeaways and insight to improve their community.
