Future Skills CoP In 2019, Research Impact Canada was brought on to support knowledge mobilization for the Future Skills Centre and to help foster a network of innovative partners in the skills and workforce development sector. As part of this partnership we are helping to support a Community of Practice focused on skills and training development. We bring together a pan-Canadian community to encourage the adoption of effective workplace and learning practices across the skills development and training sector. The Future Skills Community of Practice Connecting a community of people who are helping Canadians gain the skills they need to thrive in a changing labour market. The term ‘Community of Practice’ refers to a community of people who share a common interest, have similar goals, and who come together to learn, share, and achieve individual and group objectives. As the world of work rapidly changes, many organizations across the country are working on improving skills development and training services to help Canadians transition. The Future Skills Community of Practice is an active and growing network of 1400+ stakeholders in the skills development and training ecosystem who are working to help Canadians recognize the skills they need and how to get them. We invite researchers, non-governmental organizations, training services providers, and anyone interested in the future of work to join.
