Current & Critical - David Finch, Our Education System - An Adapt or Die Reality Check

Canada is a safe haven for many asylum seekers and immigrants, but often their skills aren’t recognized in our job market. As we continue to grow economically, David believes companies are using the wrong reference points to identify key talent that can define and deliver success. He thinks there are steps we can take — like redefining reference points between academia and employment, offering micro-credentials, or disrupting our education system — that could generate huge success for Alberta and Canada as a whole.
