The Future Workforce… Are You Ready?
Today’s workforces face challenges such as skills and labour shortages, generational differences, developing new leaders, maintaining employees’ physical and mental health, and the need to integrate immigrants, Aboriginals, people with disabilities and members of other diverse groups.
Employers and educators need to be more innovative in developing, recruiting, retaining and retraining skilled workers to deal with the rapidly changing workforce. Workforce One-Stop will provide you with the information and strategies you need to help your organization overcome these significant challenges and better adapt to the future workforce.

Our Senior Manager of Strategic Alliances, Paula Calderon, will be hosting the workshop: Leveraging Partnerships to Win the Race for World-Class Talent. We know that immigration is a critical element to supporting Canada’s population growth and economic prosperity, yet the challenges of attracting and recruiting internationally qualified professionals (IQPs) have become increasingly palpable in today’s race for talent.
In this workshop, conference delegates will learn how to leverage our unique partnerships from those who have already directly benefited from them: IQPs and the employers that hired them. This real-life case study will demonstrate how innovative partnerships can support and strengthen recruitment strategies for diverse, world-class talent, while outlining the critical success factors required to maximize the skills and experience of IQPs that are new to the Canadian workforce.
