The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the global economy and significantly shifting workforce demand. What is unclear is how STEMM workforce demands have changed and if there is an opportunity to upskill, retrain, and certify a significant portion of displaced workers to meet new and shifting labor demands.

Following the regional workshops, a final workshop presenting a national perspective was held.
