Our key focus at the GOV HR summit is to showcase how we can continue to play a leading role in influencing the future of the region’s business landscape through our globally renowned, custom programs.
During the event, we intent to explain how we can work with entities from across a variety of sectors, public, private, semi-governmental and nonprofit organizations to co-develop and customise a curriculum that is specific to the needs of an organization. The experiences we have gained from our successful partnerships with clients in the region allow us to explore new ones,” Dr. Plambeck added. 
Countries across the region have set out a national agenda for economic diversification over the coming decades, this has posed key questions for both public and private sector organizations.
Ackash Jain, QnA International, said: “The global economy could face a potential surplus of 90 million to 95 million low‐skill workers and a shortage of about 38 to 40 million high‐skill workers by 2020, according to research by McKinsey. Such statistics highlight the important role governments and educational institutions play in working together to address employability and HR issues.
“Human development and learning are the key to the future of society and will spark lively discussion during the fifth annual GOV HR Summit. We are delighted to welcome HEC Paris to our lineup of esteemed sponsors and we look forward to our delegates maximizing this opportunity to further their own professional development. It is essential that employers understand and invest in executive education programs so HR leaders can ensure that each team member develops the necessary skills and tools to forge ahead as a leader in their current position.”
