Program participants are encouraged to work across national borders to solve regional challenges, encompassed by the four pillars of YSEALI &#8211; economic growth, sustainable development, education, and civic engagement &#8211; and to strengthen the U.S.-ASEAN partnership. The YSEALI Regional Workshop on &#8220;Future Workforce&#8221; in Singapore will help Southeast Asia strengthen economic development capacity by preparing their workforce to adapt to the needs of future job demands and highlight the value of U.S. companies in driving technology and innovation. Over the course of three days, workshop participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and resilience to ensure their enterprises remain viable into the future. The workshop will develop participants&#8217; leadership competencies in strategies for meeting the digital future, critical thinking skills required to adapt quickly, and upskilling/reskilling their workforce.
