Celebrate Lifelong Learning Week with WPH! Attend the Competitive Edge: The central importance of essential skills to Canada's economic future, September 23/15
To become globally competitive Canadians need to improve their technical skills, as 40% of our workforce do not have adequate essential skills - including language, literacy and numeracy.
On September 23/15 you'll have the opportunity to learn from Scott Murray, an Essential Skills expert, who runs DataAngel Policy Research Incorporated.
Scott will be speaking about the importance of upgrading the Essential Skill levels of the Canadian workforce to ensure that the entire workforce can apply their technical skills and knowledge to globally competitive levels.
