On Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at Empower Field at Mile High, Colorado Business Roundtable hosted a signature event: Future of Work: From Data Signals to Strategy. The event is described thusly: Colorado’s workforce landscape is full of reports, rankings, and projections - but what do they actually mean for employers trying to hire, retain, and grow? Built for executives, HR and talent leaders, and workforce and higher-ed partners, this Future of Work convening cut through conflicting signals and translated the latest labor-market and skills insights into practical, employer-led strategies to keep Colorado competitive. We have captured audio from each of our sessions and made them available to you on podcatchers everywhere. This is Session 1: New Frontiers in Work-Based Learning: The Employer Outlook New research from the Burning Glass Institute highlights both the promise and the gaps in Colorado’s work-based learning ecosystem. The question isn’t what’s been done, but what’s next? This session shares key findings from a Colorado landscape analysis followed by a candid discussion with industry leaders on practical pathways to grow work-based learning.
