Panel discussion: Impact of COVID-19 on skills and the labour market
Hear from our presenting partners how COVID-19 is affecting local labour market challenges, skill requirements, and other measures since the onset of the pandemic.
Sessions (60 minutes)
Join our sessions to share and discuss the impacts of COVID-19 in the current labour market and how we respond to these challenges.

Please note: These sessions will be recorded to ensure all information shared is captured. A final report from all the Virtual Regional Sounding Tour dates will be written and shared with participants in May 2021.

The aim of the Future Skills Centre is to test and rigorously measure new approaches to identifying emerging in-demand skills, and help Canadians develop the skills they need to take full advantage of and succeed in the new economy. We want to hear your perspective on how the Future Skills Centre can best meet the diverse skills needs of people living in Ontario. Your contributions are important.
