Community of Practice

Creating an integrated pan-Canadian network of diverse partners and stakeholders across the skills development and training ecosystem

There are significant challenges in the Canadian skills and training ecosystem. These include fragmentation, lack of information, and challenges in navigating complex pathways to support. 

Part of the Future Skills Centre’s mandate is to share and encourage adoption of effective practices across this ecosystem. We want to promote inclusive career development and help Canadians understand the skills they need and how to get them.

Magnet, a digital innovation platform, will support the Future Skills Centre in achieving these goals through a new Community of Practice and community content feed. These will connect people and organizations across the skills ecosystem with information and ideas, as well as innovative services and tools. We will create opportunities for sharing and collaboration through Magnet’s evolving and growing network of networks.

The Future Skills Centre’s Community of Practice, powered by Magnet, will bring a unique opportunity to community and industry leaders, experts, and practitioners in the skills development and training ecosystem to collaborate and share resources with their peers. Our goal is to encourage collaboration and help individuals and organizations recognize synergies and opportunities to work together across sectors, geography, and industry.
