Ivanka Trump, Advisor to President Trump, will join the #CES2020 keynote stage for a discussion titled ‘The Path to the Future of Work’.
Ms. Trump will take the keynote stage with Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA, on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 2 PM PT in the Venetian’s Palazzo Ballroom. They will discuss employer-led strategies to reskill workers, create apprenticeships and develop K-12 STEM education programs.
Ms. Trump “CES has consistently proven to be one of the most influential technology events in the world and I am excited to join this year for a substantive discussion on the how the government is working with private sector leaders to ensure American students and workers are equipped to thrive in the modern, digital economy”.
Ivanka Trump serves as advisor to President Donald J. Trump and in her role, she focuses on the economic empowerment of women and their families, skills-training and workforce development. Her work includes serving as co-chair of the National Council for the American Worker with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, which helps shape administration efforts to develop a competitive workforce for the future.
Gary Shapiro said “As a business leader and entrepreneur, Ivanka Trump is an advocate for creating family-sustaining jobs through workforce development, education and skills training. We welcome her to the CES keynote stage, as she shares her vision for technology’s role in creating and enabling the workforce of the future.”
CTA is committed to prioritizing the tech sector’s investment in the U.S. workforce through job retraining efforts and apprenticeship programs, including the CTA’s own Apprenticeship Coalition. In 2019, CTA signed the White House’s Pledge to America’s Workers, committing to the creation of nearly 400,000 new worker training opportunities in the next five years. Last year, CTA released its latest Future of Work survey of tech sector business leaders, showing 68% plan to retain their workers by offering re-skilling programs.
