Content Strategy: One Size Does NOT Fit All

Online

Preparing your content strategy can be overwhelming. You may feel that you need to have your company included on every social platform, create a weekly TikTok, blog, send out emails. We are here to tell you NO! Content strategy best practices are not one size fits all - join our HUG to learn more! About this event When organizations think about their content strategy they revert to best practices, which tell you to blog, email, have a presence on all social platforms (including having a TikTok account), podcast, have a YouTube channel, etc. We're here to tell you that this "strategy" probably isn't working for you and that there is a better way of thinking about what content you should be putting out into the world and where. Every company is different, which means your content strategy should also be different.

Building scientific capacity and a new generation of researchers (Host: SK)

Online

Advances in technology and increasing digitalization, before and exacerbated during the pandemic, have led to higher demand for advanced skills sets. To build the future of work, we need to empower a new generation of researchers by nurturing talent and creating opportunities for career development. The critical importance of building scientific capability is apparent, and the first steps have already been taken with the Government of Canada investing over $550 million to support more than 5,500 researchers from coast to coast to coast, and universities across Canada creating opportunity for experiential learning in leading research labs to help young researchers develop the foundational skills and experience needed to pursue meaningful careers in R&D and related fields. Supporting researchers in the early stages of their career helps them build an innovative mindset, confidence and important industry and community connections. Yet, these young researchers face many challenges, including establishing research credentials or having them recognized, limited resources for research, and high competition for the scarce research positions available. Join leaders as they share their personal and organizational initiatives, experiences and learnings in building scientific capacity and supporting a new generation of researchers for a better future world of work.
