Skills That Matter: Insights from a STAR Leader

About This Event

How can we continuously acquire relevant skills in this fast-evolving world and – importantly –  highlight all transferable skills and the value of those in today’s dynamic labor market?

Join us for an inspiring fireside chat between two STAR leaders where Danielle Guadeloupe-Rojas, Director of Strategic Corporate Partnerships at Opportunity@Work will interview Pete Barth, CEO of Flatiron School.
