Alex Paterson & Claude Dumulon-Lauziere | Canada2020.caArticle: It’s not Unemployment, It’s Underemployment

Improving the links between education and employment is not the responsibility of educators and governments alone. Employ-ers are directly implicated: they hire workers to replace retirees and they invest in training to ensure employees have the skills needed. Their role should extend to informing the education and training systems that will produce their future employees.Source: Tackling the Top 10 Barriers to Competitiveness 2015Canadian Chamber of Commerce

Canada is not producing enough graduateswith the skills needed for its economy.

Higher education does not necessarily equate job readiness and employers are needed partners on the bridge from educa-tion to employment.

With the youth unemployment rate at such high levels, it is uplifting to find an orga-nization such as SIPO provide valuable professional workshops for youth. When I became involved with SIPO as a conference speaker, it was evident to me that the founders Kenn and Daniel truly care about helping others succeed. They provide the necessary information, methodology, and support to better one’s life. When I was asked to join the Board of Directors, I welcomed the opportunity to serve such an outstanding organization.

PAMELA PATERSONBestselling Author, Get the Job

COREY ROBERTSEntrepreneur and Host, UYE (TV Show), Rogers TVAttending the Power of Ideas Conference was an engaging event that gave me perspective. I got the chance to learn and connect both directly and indirectly with the speakers. As a result of my attendance, I have pitched, launched, and produced my own TV show (entitle UYE).

TESTIMONIALS

What the SIPO event provided me was invaluable ─ access to leading experts, ded-icated coaches, inspiration, and fresh ideas. By far, the biggest value I got out of the event was that it helped me take that first step in developing my personal brand.
