369 Global calls on Canada to create skilling centres for prospective immigrants

News

A new policy paper by a group of companies called 369 Global is urging the federal government to support the creation of training institutions in key international markets to address critical skilled labour gaps in Canada. The paper proposes that Global Skilling Centres would be purpose-built, Canadian-led training institutions that offer Canadian-recognized vocational credentials to prospective immigrants while they are still in their home countries. The paper outlines 16 recommendations for government, employers, communities, and other partners that address issues around funding, immigration pathway reform, employer partnerships, and more.
