Today, our President and CEO, Allison Pond, and SVP of Services and Strategic Initiatives, Manjeet Dhiman, joined the Canadian Club Toronto for an insightful discussion with Tanya van Biesen, CEO of VersaFi (formerly WCM), and Mitzie Hunter, CEO of the The Canadian Women's Foundation. The conversation focused on how #inclusive leadership and systemic change drive meaningful progress. We recognize the strengths all genders bring to the #workforce and #economy, as well as the systemic barriers that persist. By addressing these challenges and advancing equity-driven solutions, we create a more just and inclusive workforce—one that reflects the #diversity, skills, and experience of Canada’s population. Our programs are designed with this in mind, providing tailored learning opportunities, #mentorship, and industry #connections to support #jobseekers from diverse backgrounds integrate into the Canadian labour market.
