Opportunity to connect and discuss how student talent can help your business

TFI | Sara Anderson | July 10, 2020

Business and higher education round table - Opportunity to connect and discuss how student talent can help your businessAre you interested in providing students with work opportunities that can benefit them, and your business, during Canada’s economic recovery?

If you’re in HR, talent management, or responsible for recruitment within your organization, this is a great initiative and opportunity to help you achieve your goals.

Toronto Finance International has partnered with The Conference Board of Canada (CBoC) and Business + the Higher Education Roundtable (BHER) to improve and expand student work-integrated learning (WIL) in Canada. Our aim is to assess and support student recruitment, training, and future talent needs during our country’s economic recovery from COVID-19. Our partners are developing a user-friendly resource hub to support employers in adding or expanding student talent within their organizations, and we need your input.

We’re facilitating a series of virtual consultations and invite you to join us for a candid discussion about work-integrated learning.

  • You’ll connect with a pan-Canadian network of senior leaders focused on developing WIL opportunities and tools that will benefit businesses across the country.
  • You’ll help shape a toolbox for Canadian businesses and gain advanced access to BHER’s online toolkit of tips, tricks and resources on using WIL to address your talent needs.

There are two ways to participate:

  1. Take part in the 90-minute Ontario Regional Stakeholder Meeting happening July 15, 2020 at 1:30 PM EST, bringing together industry, postsecondary, and government stakeholders with an interest in WIL.
