Join us on May 23, for this important town hall with industry and government on bridging the skills gap we know is approaching. Economic pressures, staffing shortages, and an aging workforce are creating new pressure on British Columbia businesses to adapt. As companies invest in new technologies such as automation and AI to compete, a substantial skills gap is growing. And this is only the beginning. A Harvard Business Review article last October observed that the half-life of the value of a skill has decreased dramatically—from 26 years to less than five in many cases. The need for upskilling and reskilling will be a constant in our future. A clear path forward to support training and certification—and address emerging risks—is mission critical. We're hosting a panel from B.C. government, industry leaders, and CME’s Chief Economist to discuss these challenges and opportunities—and to help us better understand the path forward! Don’t miss the insights of this expert panel into programs, innovative approaches, and next steps. Register today to save your seat for this free virtual town hall—and get a link to the recording in your email—https://lnkd.in/gNyK4JeY . . . #safetytraining #safetycertification
