Community of Practice
An integrated, pan-Canadian community of diverse partners and stakeholders across the skills development and training ecosystem.
There are growing challenges in the journey to employment, including fragmentation, lack of
information, and difficulty navigating complex pathways to support.
Part of our mandate is to share and encourage the adoption of effective practices across the
skills development and training sector. With the help of Magnet, Canada’s only Digital
Community Workforce System, we move closer to achieving these goals through the FSC
Community of Practice.
With an active and growing network of 1,400+ people, we bring together practitioners,
researchers, community organizers, and policymakers in the skills training ecosystem – anyone
interested in skills training, labour market research, and the future of work is welcome to join!

● Access online training, news, and resources related to skills development to
advance your own learning
● Engage with others in the industry from around the country on current future of
work trends
