UPSKILLING programs for success

“Technology continues to play a pivotal role in business success across sectors, as the needs of organizations shift and adapt to changes brought on by the pandemic. The technology sector has grown exponentially in many regions across the country, however British Columbia continues to experience challenges in attracting the talent needed to drive similar expansion. Through our work with Palette and this consortium of leading organizations and educational institutions across Canada, we’re optimistic that positive change is on the horizon. We look forward to creating the talent pipelines required in our region to fill high-demand roles in the technology sector and fast-growing industries.”

« Dans une perspective de relance économique, l’Université Laval s’est engagée à tisser des alliances avec différents partenaires privés et publics tant dans le domaine de la recherche que dans le domaine de l’enseignement. Témoin de l’évolution rapide du monde du travail, l’Université Laval est heureuse de participer à la mise sur pied de ce réseau d’universités et d’acteurs du milieu du travail. Dans le cadre de cette initiative, le Service de placement et la Direction générale de la formation continue de l’Université Laval contribueront à offrir des activités de formation innovantes et un accès privilégié aux emplois disponibles. »

“Partnership between academic institutions and leading Canadian organizations is critical to drive meaningful change. Through the labour shortage we are facing today, there is increasing responsibility on post-secondary institutions to both offer our university community the right mix of skills for the workplace and to connect our communities with employment opportunities. We’re thrilled to work with Palette on this initiative and champion success for graduates of all skillsets, backgrounds and interests. We look forward to seeing the profound careers that students across Canada go on to achieve through this program.”

“Dalhousie University is proud to be part of Palette. Through this national talent platform, we can help address the changing nature of work and help ensure Canada has the skilled workforce for an inclusive economy driven by innovation and technology. As a civic-minded university, Palette’s model will help us further our own commitment to inclusive economic growth and contribute to our country’s capacity to grow innovative companies.”

“We’re excited to support Palette’s mission and to work alongside many leading organizations to address the skills gap across Canada. Palette is at the forefront of the talent industry and is having great success developing programs that help transition those who are underemployed into high-demand roles.”

“Close partnerships between educators and employers ensure that workers learn the skills they need to build successful careers. Palette is building the programs we need to create a better future and a higher quality of life for Canadians.”
