“UNTAPPED: Closing America's Opportunity Gap” Screening & Q&A

Mar 4, 2025

11:00am – 12:30pm CT

Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. UNTAPPED follows a group of diverse young adults as they go through a rigorous skills-training program and compete for Fortune 500 internships. We hear from some of the nation’s top CEOs and experts about why a shift towards a skills-based hiring movement would benefit individuals, companies and the economy. UNTAPPED aims to change minds about what a “qualified” job candidate looks like and accelerate the shift towards skills-based hiring and mobility strategies.
