Initiatives

The Innovation Lab
The Innovation Lab is dedicated to advancing bold, future-focused ideas by collaborating with partners to maximize the effectiveness of their project design and uncover solutions in a cooperative, low stakes environment.
Our emphasis is on learning through testing and nurturing experimentation to generate those insights. The Lab spearheads two pivotal initiatives: the Accelerator program —which helps teams expand or enhance their project design in a rapid timeframe, and the Incubation Network — which convenes projects that share a common purpose to surface out-of-the ordinary or novel solutions through peer-learning and shared goals.
Community of Practice
The FSC Community of Practice is an inclusive and pan-Canadian network designed to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration among stakeholders in the skills development ecosystem.
With the help of our delivery partners, Research Impact Canada, we offer participants the opportunity to grow their networks with folks from across the country who are preparing Canadians for the future of work, access curated tools and case studies, learn from experts and participate in professional development opportunities on timely topics.
Anyone interested in skills training, workforce innovation, labour market research, and the future of work is welcome to join!
