The rapidly shifting environment of the workforce has been a topic under much consideration for years leading up to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the introduction of COVID-19 at the end of 2019, the difficulties that youth were facing in entering or progressing in the workforce became exasperated and challenged our understanding and expectations for the future of work in our communities moving forward. Youth are Canada’s most valuable asset when it comes to facing the future of work. A large part of Canada’s success in navigating what’s to come will depend on how well the next generation of Canadians is integrated into the workforce.
