Opening Session & Keynote: Redefining the Collar - Blue, sponsored by Infor

Mandy wants to solve the massive skilled trade shortage in North America as it is a profound economic and social issue that affects everyone. Consumers are paying more and waiting longer for services, companies aren’t able to scale, and delays are impacting essential infrastructure projects, like roads, transit and hospitals. The misconception that white-collar jobs are “better” or “more desirable” than blue-collar ones. Society needs both collars, and if we do not change this, the crippling effects of the skilled labor shortage will only get worse.
