October 13, 2017 - Surrey Hot Topic Series: Connecting Industry Needs to Curriculum Development

The Surrey Board of Trade has, since 2008, worked with businesses and education stakeholders to facilitate dialogues and develop a base of shared understandings.

With ever evolving labour needs and skills development, have your say at this interactive dialogue. Hear from panelists:
