Join us for a conversation on the experiences of young people entering and navigating the workforce. We’ll discuss how training and guidance services are supporting learners, how the skills ecosystem can evolve to better serve youth, especially through the opportunities to advance underserved youth who have not benefited from current educational and training systems.

Future Skills Centre (FSC) is partnering with CERIC to bring you a dedicated half-day stream of programming called Future Skills @Cannexus as part of the in-person conference.

This year's Futures Conference focused on strengthening foundations for inclusion, professional development for the front lines, and best practices sharing, with special presentations from international speakers.

Tricia Williams, FSC's director of research, evaluation and knowledge mobilization, will be sharing insights from our Accelerator program during a talk called "Emerging Researchers and the Skills for Inclusive Social Innovation. What are the gaps in training?" Other speakers include Gail Bowkett, Meagan Trush, and Ian Wereley.

Held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, this free event will gather sustainability experts, industry employers, career service practitioners and government representatives to help build a zero-emission economy that not only meets climate change targets but enables everyone to participate and benefit.
