Canada's Future Skills Centre has announced 30 new projects "to fill employers' skills gaps and help workers gain in-demand skills in this post-pandemic period." The projects touch every region in Canada and are focused on diverse needs, raging from energy sector workers to unionized construction workers to Indigenous youth in northern Manitoba to artists to vulnerable women. My first reaction to the announcement is favourable; maybe there will be cause for complaint later on, but the program seems to be targeting specific innovations in specific areas and (significant) not trying a 'one size fits all' approach. The list is in addition to 17 previuous projects already announced, for a total of 47 projects.
