On July 26, 2023, Research Impact Canada, in partnership with Magnet, hosted a peer learning group to discuss how organizations can embrace technology and digital infrastructure to improve workforce development efforts. Participants were invited to share their experiences working in the workforce development sector and the challenges and opportunities they see for leveraging digital tools. The session began with a short primer presentation about digital tools in the workforce development space. Afterwards, participants were divided into breakout rooms to share thoughts and experiences. The session concluded with a plenary discussion summarizing key insights from the breakout rooms.
The presenters at the beginning session were:
- Alexander Stephens, Senior Advisor of Research and Evaluation, Future Skills Centre
