In order to provide sustainable, scalable and accessible programs for a diverse workforce, many groups are actively developing training platforms that span from digital to hands-on approaches, with content directed toward a range of jobs in both STEM and non-STEM fields. This symposium will feature 2024 Key Speakers leading development efforts focusing on three critical areas:
