Conversations to Connections

Conversations to Connections | Conversations aux connexions

Central to our partnership with the Future Skills Centre (FSC) mission is the establishment of a pan-Canadian community of practice that serves to support knowledge sharing, collaboration, provide learning opportunities and foster the empowerment for professionals across the workforce and skills development ecosystem. This ambitious endeavor has been guided by our Conversations to Connections (C2C) initiative, a collaborative effort led by Research Impact Canada in partnership with FSC.  
  
The value of C2C lies in its direct engagement with practitioners from the workforce and skills development sector across Canada. This engagement served a dual purpose: fostering meaningful relationships with practitioners and capturing their invaluable insights. These insights helped form the foundations of our growing community of practice.
