April 24, 2014 - Business and Education Dialogue

Join us as we discuss investments in education necessary for the productivity of our businesses. As we head into an era of skills shortages, it is imperative that industry needs are tied to the school curriculums (both at the elementary/high school and post-secondary levels). Without the proper training of youth, businesses will be forced to close as current skilled workers retire.

Featuring for the first time together:
• Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, and Minister Responsible for Labour
• Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education
• Representative for the Ministry of Advanced Education

A question and answer period will be included in the program.
