Ivanka Trump speaks on the future of work at CES 2020 in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS – In a controversy-stirring appearance on the keynote stage of the country's largest technology trade show, Ivanka Trump unrolled her vision of what companies and the government must do to prepare the workforce for the future. "To do the same job today in many industries outside of what's considered sort of a traditional quote-unquote technology industry, there is a technical application and a technical literacy that's required," she said Tuesday at CES 2020 on the Las Vegas Strip. "So it's not only about training for the jobs of the future – people need to be thinking about investing in their current workforce so they can enable those people to do their same job using different equipment to help them." President Donald Trump's daughter and adviser joined Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, in the Venetian's Palazzo Ballroom for a discussion called "The Path to the Future of Work." Trump, who came to Washington in 2017 as an adviser to her father, referred to her father as "the president" and focused on the work of the White House.
