Partnerships with the Federal, Ontario and Alberta Governments

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada has continued to support mature worker issues through seed funding of our annual conference "The Summit on the Mature Workforce." The summit showcases the best research and practices across North America.

The mission involved teaching employers and industries across Canada what they could be doing differently to establish best practices through case studies. These new practices included strategic workforce planning, intergenerational mentoring, and the transferring of practical skills that were becoming hard to find. This year, the Summit on the Mature Workforce enters its sixth year. Over the years the Summit on the Mature Workforce has earned the trust and partnership support of HRSDC, the Ontario Government, the Alberta Government and many private sector organizations.
