Future Workforce Room
3:00PM to 3:50PM
Canada attracts top global professionals, yet many newcomers remain underemployed while local businesses face ongoing talent shortages. This panel brings together corporate leaders, HR professionals, settlement agencies, and newcomer talent to examine where this disconnect happens and how to fix it. Focusing on cultural intelligence, practical skills recognition, and inclusive hiring, panelists will discuss how industries like construction, infrastructure, and professional services can dismantle barriers. The session aims to create clear career pathways so internationally trained talent can move beyond entry-level jobs into long-term leadership roles.
