Over the past year a lot has changed and workplaces around the world shifted their practices to respond to COVID-19. Disrupted labour markets meant students had to adjust to unemployment, limited internships and job offers. But with unprecedented time comes unprecedented opportunities.

With the rollout of the vaccine, recovery is now on the horizon. As Canadian businesses prepare for the future, it is now more important than ever to take the time to develop and acquire essential talent to contribute to rebuilding our economy. Have you considered how your organization will prepare and hire the talent you need to move forward?
