Collège Boréal hosts the Ontario session of a nation-wide consultation on the Future of Work in Canada
Collège Boréal welcomes on November 14, 2019, the Ontario session of a nation-wide consultation by the Future Skills Centre on the future of work in Canada, organized by the Conference Board of Canada.
Under the theme What skills do we need? the Ontario session brings together stakeholders in the areas of training, skills and employment from the Greater Sudbury area and beyond in a round table format which fosters discussions on the qualifications that tomorrow’s workforce will require.
As a centre for research and collaboration dedicated to preparing Canadians for employment success, the Future Skills Centre will collect local perspectives on the issues that will emerge in the discussions during these regional sounding tour sessions. The analysis of these debates will help to guide the centre’s investments in the fields of research and innovation.
The changing landscape of skills: a key topic for colleges
As a partner in professional training, Collège Boréal is positioned as a key partner in the reflections on the changing landscape of skills. Boréal draws from its expertise in the areas of trades, industry and new technologies to match the offer and content of training with the skills needed by employers.
Collège Boréal also invests in applied research, a field especially conducive to innovation in the means and methods of work.
About one hundred participants will take part in the two consultation sessions to be held at Collège Boréal.
