Workforce WindsorEssex; Workforce Summit

The Workforce Summit is a FREE event for 225 representatives from industry, employment services, education, training, and government to attend. Hear about exciting and innovative training/upskilling initiatives from guest speakers and help us review existing and missing training pathways for in-demand occupations in agriculture, construction, I.C.T., manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and retail (sales and services). Together, we can develop an action plan for the costly issue of people without jobs and jobs without people!
