AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Texas Engineering Executive Education's Dr. Eric Roe will speak on future skills needed in the workplace for jobs that don't currently exist and how educational intuitions can respond. Dr. Roe will speak as a panel member at the ACT Workforce Summit conference held this Thursday, November 9th at the Hyatt Regency in Austin, Texas.
Dr. Roe is one of a panel of expert thought leaders and practitioners who will discuss future skills needed for the workplace and the importance of whole person assessment and credentials. Dr. Roe and the panel will share various frameworks, tools, strategies, and innovative approaches to help education, workforce, and economic development practitioners better prepare tomorrow's workforce for jobs that do not yet exist.

"This panel will share with participants what they can best do to prepare America's workforce for future success."
