Canadian education and skills-details and analysis - 0 views

  •  
    Key Messages: Canada earns an "A" on its Education and Skills report card, ranking 2nd among 16 peer countries. Canada's strength is in delivering a high-quality education with comparatively modest spending to people between the ages of 5 and 19. Canada needs to improve workplace skills training and lifelong education. Unfortunately Canada earns a "C" in the "science, math, computer science, and engineering" category as well as the "high-level science skills" category.

Online Virtual Events and Career Fairs for Recruiting and Networking - 0 views

  •  
    I came across this organization and thought it was worth sharing in relation to upcoming trends in recruiting and networking. Brazen powers online virtual events and career fairs for leading organizations around the world, improving recruiting, networking, and audience engagement. Their mission is to change the way people find professional opportunities and employers find talent. They also believe that everyone deserves a job they love, which is evident in their work setting (they don't work in cubicles, have access to snacks, lunches, and have comfy lounges to work in with a large screen TV). I don't know of many organizations myself that have these awesome perks at a workplace, but perhaps what this organization is starting is an emerging trend, as well as a new way of recruiting and expanded networking beyond LinkedIn.

Timeline of Canadian Immigration Policy (PDF) - 1 views

  •  
    This week I thought it might be interesting to look at the history of who has been admitted into Canada, and why. Immigration has a lot to do with our economy, and is one of the ways that the government can shape the workforce (and the general culture) of the nation. With our steadily dropping birthrate and aging population, it will continue to be an important part of Canada's workplace. I believe that immigration policy is one of the most explicit ways Canada makes its cultural and economic values know through cycles of liberal and conservative thought.
