Lisa Taylor, Founder and President, Challenge Factory

Mark Patterson, Executive Director, Magnet

As career development practitioners, your work is needed more than ever. Talk about skills, jobs, change, transitions, and disruption is at fever pitch. From evening newscasts to family dinner tables, everyone has opinions on the transition to a green and just economy, emerging skills, ageing workforces, and labour shortages.

It seems no one knows what the future will hold for jobs, the economy, education, and Canada’s prosperity. But as CDPs, we have unique talents and perspectives that can shift discussions from pithy soundbites to powerful steps forward for workforces and workplaces.

Careers work is revolutionary in its capacity to bring order to chaotic situations. It puts individuals at the centre of widescale change and focuses on better.
In this dynamic, market-focused keynote address, join Lisa Taylor as she explores three key dimensions of career development and how each provides tools to transform lives, livelihoods, and communities.
​
Learning Outcomes
  1. Explore three revolutionary dimensions of career development
  2. Place identity and impact at the centre of careers work
  3. Consider how to be revolutionary in your own practice
As the demands of Canadian employers continue to evolve, it is important for employers and career development professionals to look toward the future of work and adapt to global trends.

​Magnet's session will delve into the transformative potential of technology in reshaping the dynamics of workforce and career development. With a focus on leveraging digital tools for sustainable economic growth and inclusive talent development, we will explore emerging technologies and their role in shaping the future of labour market connections.

Careers Work is Social Impact Work:  How to Engage with Employers

Facilitated by:  Lisa Taylor, President, Challenge Factory
Emma James, Associate, Challenge Factory
​

Today’s employers are more focused on talent than ever before. The current economic environment, with lingering impacts of the pandemic and future concerns related to demographic change and skill gaps, has made workforce concerns the top priority for every leader in the country. 
​
Career development typically focuses on the job seeker as the primary client. However, there is increasing awareness that there can be no lasting solutions to some of today’s most challenging employment conundrums unless employers are also supported. Given all that is changing, there is a remarkable window of opportunity for career development approaches to help job seekers and employers alike chart a path to a better future. Join this interactive workshop where we will play with tools from within and outside the field to foster better relationships with employers.
 
Learning Outcomes
  1. Identify the career development thinking that employers need right now
  2. Explore how to work with employers towards shared goals using the SDGs
  3. Challenge yourself to shift your own work for broader impact
