Stakeholder Engagement

The Future Skills Centre is building a pan-Canadian network of partners, and stakeholders to encourage collaboration, the exchange of ideas, and sharing of knowledge and best practices.

Canada’s skills ecosystem is diverse, dynamic, and oftentimes disconnected. The Future Skills Centre is committed to working directly with stakeholders to listen, identify, and better understand the skills challenges Canadians are facing and how best to respond to them. We will support and facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and partnerships among stakeholders in the skills and training sector from coast to coast to coast. 

Building on our expansive network of more than 150 organizations, the Future Skills Centre and its consortium partners are actively reaching out to diverse stakeholders. We are developing a bilingual and accessible approach to introduce and promote our mission. 

The goals of this approach include:

  1. Informing Canadians about the Centre’s mandate, research plans, and investment strategy in the months and years ahead;
  2. Building awareness about how the Future Skills Centre intends to drive impact and systems change across Canada with communities facing barriers to skills training and employment pathways; and
  3. Developing and deepening our relationships with partners and stakeholders to design and build a virtual community of practice, to map the skills ecosystem across Canada, and enhance our presence and understanding of this burgeoning network by attending and participating in community events and initiatives.

Content from: National Observer, Cloe Logan | December 12, 2024 Shane Mullins cranks his neck backwards to see the top of the wind turbine he’s about to climb – a tower specifically for training. While it’s not as tall as the structures that run beside roads and stand parallel in fields, it’s inarguably high. It hits the same altitude as a 10-storey building, about half the height of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Catherine Charron, les affaires | Decembre 11, 2024 RHÉVEIL-MATIN. Au cours de la deuxième moitié de la décennie 2030, on devrait compter au Canada près d’un million de postes vacants au pays chaque année. L’un des principaux facteurs? L’inadéquation entre les compétences des travailleurs et les besoins des employeurs. Tout n’est pas perdu, si la société joue bien ses cartes, estime deux économistes du Conference Board of Canada, l’organisme qui tire la sonnette d’alarme.
