Description:

One in three Canadian employers anticipate labour challenges in 2025, and 40% are concerned about the lack of upskilling programs. As staffing and skill gaps grow in healthcare, manufacturing, construction and food service, HR leaders seek to connect with new talent pools and innovative learning solutions. Upskilling with English delivers on both priorities, especially as newcomers drive 80% of Canada's labour force growth.

Join us to learn how workplace-based English programs connect companies to this untapped workforce, equipping workers with essential job skills - including English proficiency. Discover how this solution drives HR leaders' recruitment and workforce development goals, along with career mobility for Canada's newcomers.


Learning Objectives: 

  • Learn why workplaces are ideal environments for English learning. 
  • Get insights into the science behind second language acquisition and best practices for supporting working adults in gaining English proficiency. 
  • Learn how English upskilling drives business outcomes like recruitment, retention, employee engagement, productivity, and more. 
  • Get tips on how to get started in building a workplace-based English program


Who should attend: 

The webinar is designed to equip employers, adult educators, governments, and other workforce leaders with data and tools to understand the potential of high-quality, career-aligned English instruction to build a future-ready workforce that fully includes adult English learners.
