Description

Please join us and this amazing panel of professionals where we will cover the big trends that could directly impact the future of resilient infrastructure and workforce in the Pittsburgh region. A McKinsey & Company report anticipates that in this decade the world will see a once-in-a-lifetime wave of capital spending of roughly $130 trillion, on physical asset projects to decarbonize and renew critical infrastructure. The need for resilient, sustainable infrastructure will drive economic development and require enhanced workforce development programs to ensure an equitable distribution of the jobs of the future.
