Immigration, Workforce and the New Europe
As Brexit nears, multinational corporations are reassessing their long-term investments in Britain, with many questioning exactly how Brexit will affect trade across the European Union. Meanwhile, as a result of the ongoing refugee crisis, a record number of refugees - some highly trained, many not - have made new homes in Europe and are eager to find jobs. As the region navigates these dual workforce challenges, this session will explore emerging priorities, the unforeseen obstacles, and creative solutions to a complex social and business challenge.
