If there is a 2023 recession, it will be the third recession in 15 years. During this session with Carol Fishman Cohen, Co-Founder & CEO of iRelaunch, we’ll discuss the history of returnships in the past two recessions and how that informs us going forward during this period of economic uncertainty. How will the overwhelming layoffs in the tech sector impact the opportunities for returners in the short and long term? Looking very long term, will the expectation of a future 100-year life and 60-year career change the outlook for career reentry programs?
