As technical requirements evolve rapidly, employers are placing greater emphasis on durable skills. Capabilities such as communication, problem-solving, adaptability, teamwork, and critical thinking form the foundation of job-ready talent and long-term workforce resilience.

Join the Greater Houston Partnership to explore how these transferable skills enable individuals to learn quickly, adapt to change, and succeed across roles and industries. Panelists will share how they are redefining job readiness by embedding durable skills into hiring, training, and advancement strategies, also examining how stronger alignment among employers, educators, and training providers can better prepare talent for current workforce needs while supporting long-term adaptability in Houston’s evolving labor market.

Participants will gain practical insights into evaluating, developing, and integrating durable skills to strengthen talent pipelines and drive business success.
