Intégré au travail (AIT)

L’apprentissage intégré au travail (AIT) prépare la prochaine génération de travailleurs en misant sur des expériences pratiques et le développement des compétences. Avec l’AIT, les employeurs ont accès à des idées novatrices et à un nouveau bassin de talents. L’AIT rend la main-d’œuvre plus productive, inclusive et prête à travailler. La TRAES veut que chaque étudiant de niveau postsecondaire au Canada ait une occasion d’AIT au cours de ses études.

Initiative

Accessibility

Persons with disabilities are a vital and underutilized talent pool who deserve inclusive work opportunities. BHER and its members are committed to supporting the Government of Canada’s goal to make workplaces barrier-free for persons with disabilities by 2040.

Initiative

Upskilling + Reskilling

Upskilling and reskilling helps workers retain jobs or transition to new ones. BHER is committed to supporting business-higher education upskilling and/or reskilling partnerships that help employers and the economy stay up to date, make productivity gains, and benefit from the latest training and technology.

Initiative

Technology and AI Adoption

Canada’s technology adoption lag and AI hesitancy mean an opportunity for growth, but only if we can overcome what’s causing it. Businesses and post-secondary institutions need to collaborate earlier, more, and across different sectors. BHER is committed to help.

Initiative

Productivity + Innovation

Canada continues to outperform our OECD peer countries on post-secondary attainment and research excellence. We also continue to come last on most productivity, innovation, and growth metrics. Something needs to change. BHER is committed to facilitating collaborations between the business and higher education sectors to help make Canada a productivity and innovation leader.

Initiative

International Talent

Engaging and retaining international talent is key to addressing regional, provincial, and national labour market needs. BHER and its members are at the forefront of Canada’s international talent strategy and are committed to developing partnerships and projects that build career pathways for international talent.

Initiative

Net-Zero

A green skills-equipped workforce is key to meeting sustainability commitments and remaining globally competitive. BHER and its members are committed to increasing access to green career pathways and ensuring that both new and experienced workers have the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in Canada's net-zero transition.
