Track: Workforce Development
This session explores the realities and opportunities of workforce reintegration across technical industries, particularly within the materials protection and performance space. As organizations respond to seismic shifts in labor, leadership, and legacy systems, this session will spotlight solutions that empower second-act professionals, reentry pathways for displaced talent, and strategies that improve long-term retention of mission-critical workers. Presentations will focus on practical approaches and policy-relevant insights in the face of a fast-evolving future of work.
