Ep. 18 I Unprecedented times have called for the future of work to become the present. The rapid acceleration of automation and technology integration into the workplace is thought to either cause displacement or upgrades. Bridging the skills gap and upskilling employees and businesses will become imperative in not leaving anyone behind. We know that diversity and inclusion can provide access to well-qualified talent and can help meet the changing needs of the global environment, starting at the post-secondary level. Host Edward Greenspon is joined by Dr. Wendy Cukier, Founder and Academic Director of Ryerson University’s Diversity Institute, and Pedro Barata, Executive Director of the Future Skills Center for Part 2 of this Policy Speaking segment to examine workplace diversity and preparing Canadians with the skills they need to succeed in the present and the future of work.
