Closing the gap between what graduates learn and what employers need takes closer ties between education and industry.
Dr. Harvey P. Weingarten, former President of the University of Calgary and of HEQCO, and a leading voice on workforce readiness and the future of higher education, has been appointed Director of IBU’s Future Talent Institute to lead that work.
He will guide the Future Talent Research Institute’s labour market research and industry engagement, and the Future Talent Academy’s industry-driven training and upskilling.
