Digital talent: Road to 2020 and beyond

The purpose of Digital Talent: Road to 2020 and Beyond is to provide practical recommendations that will position Canada’s talent as a comparative advantage in the increasingly global and rapidly evolving digital landscape. This strategy is unique in that it targets both the œvertical ICT industry and the œhorizontal adopters of ICT and digital technologies, both of which depend on a strong, vibrant digitally-savvy workforce. This strategy is not intended to supplant digital strategies developed by provincial governments (such as British Columbia’s technology strategy) or other associations representing sub-sectors of the ICT vertical (such as the Entertainment Software Association of Canada’s talent strategy). Rather, it supports and reinforces the elements of those other strategies that we believe should be prioritized at a national level
