What can shift when organizations look outside the box to fill gaps together? This discussion is part of our Inclusion Table Talks, a series of CCDI's Leader Talks with Anne-Marie Pham podcast which dives deeper into pressing issues in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
Joining us to explore these ideas are two guests: Noel Baldwin, Executive Director of the Future Skills Centre, an organization committed to preparing Canadians for the next chapter of work, and Zahra Ebrahim, the CEO and co-founder of Monumental, which is a social purpose business working to advance equitable city-building and urban development.
Our conversation highlights new insights and opportunities for Canada to consider how to optimize our existing talent. We also discuss how larger institutions, such as government agencies, can effectively collaborate with community-rooted initiatives and vice versa.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation about how these key players are working to build a better Canada.
