On November 12th, BHER’s Chief R&D Officer, Matt McKean, will join the Toronto Workforce Funder Collaborative alongside employment and training providers, community organizations, and intermediaries for a roundtable discussion on strengthening employer engagement and improving employment outcomes across the Greater Toronto Area.
Matt will share insights on the benefits of work-integrated learning (WIL) and how efforts must be made to ensure that training, programming, and career pathways reflect both current and future workforce needs.
Drawing on the work of BHER’s Leadership Tables, Matt will speak to the need to mobilize capacity that already exists and identify competing workforce demands before they become bottlenecks.
