Calgary Workforce Symposium: Maximizing Calgary’s Talent Potential

In a fast-changing world, talent—or human capital—is the key to unlocking long-term economic growth.

Hosted by our partner organization, Calgary Economic Development, this event will feature FSC’s Executive Director Pedro Barata and Dr. Tricia Willaims, Director, Research, Evaluation and Knowledge Mobilization, as well as a national group of experts on the fast-changing world of work.

The Symposium brings together Calgary’s workforce leaders to identify barriers, challenges, and opportunities in creating a skilled, agile, forward-thinking, and inclusive workforce that meets current and future needs. Hear about best practices across Canada and collaborate and share innovative strategies with other workforce leaders to address some of Calgary’s greatest workforce challenges.

Calgary is building on a strong economic foundation with limitless potential. Building a robust pipeline of talent is critical to be a leading destination for talent in Canada and to support continued economic prosperity. Your input and contribution as a community leader is invaluable in this discussion to transform Calgary’s talent to ensure its relevancy for the new economy.
