CPHR CPD hours: 1.0
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.
