Noel Baldwin joins us to discuss the need to address skills gaps in various industries. Noel Baldwin is the Interim Executive Director of the Future Skills Centre (FSC). He brings nearly two decades of experience in leading strategic initiatives and policy development in postsecondary education, adult learning and skills development. Baldwin shares his thoughts on how the pressing need to address skill gaps in various industries requires a collaborative approach between businesses and educational systems.
Highlights from our conversation include:
1. Meaningful engagement from employers is essential to initiate discussions on skills, though SMEs often face challenges in participation. 2. Educational institutions can play a pivotal role by first gaining a deep understanding of employer needs, and then building on Canada's existing skilled workforce.
