Skills Summit Highlights
In April 2000, Secretary of Labor Alexis M. Herman hosted a National Skills Summit, a daylong session to develop and exchange innovative, practical and cost-effective strategies for satisfying employer's immediate need for skilled workers. The Secretary, joined by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, corporate CEO's, small business entrepreneurs, leaders of organized labor and community organizations, trade association representatives, academics, and worker and government officials, focused on how employers across the country can face the challenge of attracting and retaining labor.
The summit showcased real-life examples and worked on strategies to enable all workers to acquire the skills they need for jobs in the 21st century workplace, particularly among the millions of untapped workers in distressed rural and urban areas, people with disabilities and young people.
