The Conference Board is pleased to announce that the 2nd Skills and Post-Secondary Education Summit 2014: Developing the Skills and PSE Strategy for Canada will be taking place November 5-6 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Don’t miss this chance to meet hundreds of national and international stakeholders and share your views and insights on the future of the PSE system in Canada.
In addition to featuring the latest global best practices and original research you’ve come to expect, this event will also give you the chance to view and provide your input on the pre-draft Skills and Post-Secondary Education Strategy for Canada—a comprehensive, action-oriented framework that expresses a shared vision for the future of PSE in Canada, specific goals, and actions to achieve the required changes in the medium- to long-term.
You’ll receive a copy of the pre-draft Skills and PSE Strategy for Canada prior to the Summit, and will be invited to take part in interactive discussions and consultations throughout the event. This is an exclusive opportunity to provide your input on key issues related to the content, development, and implementation of the Strategy, so don’t delay in securing your place!
