SUMMARY:Leading Change Through Digital Transformations
DESCRIPTION:We are at an inflection point of incredible opportunity\, and leaders need a workforce that is engaged and motivated\, making progress. \nBut what has worked in the past will not work now. With 72% of employees reporting feeling disengaged\, and people reflecting on how work should fit them\, a new approach is needed to shape a working environment that is creative\, collaborative\, and productive. \nLeaders that are unable to evolve and adapt\, will likely lose their top talent and struggle to compete against organizations who have the toolkit to effectively respond to the 5 External Shifts… \nThe WorkInsights program provides a framework for the shifts needed to lead effectively and provide the working environment most effective to attract and retain talent and gain their best contribution. \nHarvard Business School shows 60% of the results of an organization are attributed to the one senior leader – a significant responsibility if you are that leader – the question is\, are you ready?

SUMMARY:Supplier Diversity Information Session - Valley Region: Discovering Opportunities for Small Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\nSupplier Diversity is growing across Canada\, and it’s more than just a buzzword. \nNSBI\, in partnership with the Supplier Diversity Alliance Canada (SDAC)\, is hosting a morning information session to present and discuss supplier diversity procurement and the benefits of certification in relation to exporting. \nSupplier Diversity helps your business find opportunities\, access supply chains\, and make connections in a new way. \nJoin us in the Annapolis Valley at Acadia University in Wolfville\, as the leadership team from Canada’s four certifying organizations for supplier diversity come together for this very special event. You’ll learn how your business can access new opportunities that are exclusively available to businesses of diversity. \nWhat is a business of diversity*?  A business which is 51%+ owned\, managed\, and controlled by: \n\nAboriginal and/or Indigenous Peoples\nPersons with Disabilities\nLGBT+\nVeterans\nVisible Minorities\nWomen\n\nOne of the most promising opportunities for businesses of diversity is to explore new markets through supplier diversity or inclusive procurement. Supplier diversity reaches out to groups traditionally underrepresented in the supply chain of purchasing processes of major corporations or governments. It is a strategic business case that provides diverse businesses equal opportunities to become suppliers to major corporations across Canada\, the US and Europe. It is also the bridge between diversity and inclusion policy and social responsibility or sustainability. \nWhile these programs open doors for companies\, they do not guarantee the business. It provides businesses of diversity with equal opportunities to pre-qualify and bid on purchased goods and services.

SUMMARY:Building scientific capacity and a new generation of researchers (Host: SK)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nSupporting 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. \nJoin 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. \nIntroduced by Florence Rousseau\, Director\, Marketing & Communications\, Magnet\, and moderated by Chantal Brine\, CEO\, EnPoint\, we invite you to the next installment of the Building Future Ready Communities: Virtual Tour series for community building and an inspirational panel discussion and Q&A! \nIf you are unable to join us live\, sign-up anyways and you’ll receive instructions on how to access the recording afterwards.

SUMMARY:The Power of Intentional Networking to Access Talent: Utilizing Connector Programs to Fill Labour Gaps
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Power of Intentional Networking to Access Talent: Utilizing Connector Programs to Fill Labour Gaps \nDescription \n\nIn today’s tightening labour market\, accessing skilled talent is a key factor in helping businesses thrive. The Conference Board of Canada predicts that the immigrant talent pool will be the main source of net labour force growth in Canada\, yet it can be difficult to tap into. Within the labour pool itself\, immigrants experience many barriers to finding meaningful work in their industry. \nThe award-winning Halifax Connector Program helps address challenges for both employers and immigrants. It is an intentional networking program that puts immigrants directly in touch with local businesspeople\, civil servants\, and community leaders – people who are in the habit of making introductions and connecting others to opportunities. Immigrants quickly build their professional network while employers meet new skilled talent. It’s a win-win. \nThe Connector Program model has been replicated in over 30 communities in Canada and internationally. This webinar will showcase three business stories of connecting and hiring immigrant talent\, and the importance of building a welcoming\, diverse\, and inclusive workforce. \nPanellists\n\n\nMike Johnston – Founder and CEO\, REDspace\nMaayan Harel – Program Manager\, Aerospace and Defence\, Enginuity Inc.\nVinita Savani – Regional President\, Atlantic Canada\, RBC\n\nModerator \n\nAlida Campbell – National Connector Program Manager\, Halifax Partnership\n\nThis discussion is organized in collaboration with the National Connector Program at the Halifax Partnership\, and is part of the Employer Perspectives webinar series brought to you by the Immigrant Employment Councils of Canada (IECC) and New Canadians TV Network. \nNote: You can ask questions to our guest speaker(s) live during the session. You can also send your queries to us beforehand at contact@newcanadians.tv or through the registration form below. \nTime: Jul 20\, 2022 01:30 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
