The region’s workforce is evolving, and building the talent pipeline our businesses and communities need requires bold action and collaboration. The 2026 Workforce Forum is a half-day event designed to give HR leaders, executives, educators, nonprofit professionals and community decision-makers the insights and tools to address current challenges and plan for the future of work.
Keynote speaker Rebecca Ryan, nationally recognized futurist, will provide a forward-looking perspective on workforce trends. Participants will also hear local, data-driven updates on housing, child care, immigration and support for individuals experiencing homelessness. A hands-on skills-based hiring workshop offers actionable strategies that can be applied immediately in organizations of any size.
This convening is held in collaboration with United Way of Cass-Clay, and in partnership with the NSF AgTech Engine in North Dakota and Minnesota DEED Drive for Five, aligning regional efforts to accelerate workforce innovation and impact.
