Training in a Pandemic:
Preparing Canada’s Frontline Workforce
December 4, 2020
12:15PM ET I 9:15AM PT
The critical role of Canada’s frontline workforce has never been more apparent than during the COVID-19 pandemic. When COVID-19 forced post-secondary institutions to transition their programs to online, remote and hybrid delivery, programs serving as a direct talent pipeline to critical frontline occupations were disproportionately affected.
Polytechnics Canada and the Public Policy Forum (PPF) invite you join an interactive discussion as we consider:
- The innovative ways Canada’s polytechnics pivoted to deliver education and training in an online, remote and hybrid environment
- The importance of upskilling and reskilling to enable labour market resilience
- Critical policy considerations moving forward
