January 19th, 2021— Canada’s Future Skills Strategy: Workforce Development for Inclusive Innovation

In January 2019, the Government of Canada established the Future Skills Council with a mandate to provide advice on emerging skills and workforce trends and to identify and promote pan-Canadian priorities relating to skills development and training.
