This session will examine how to close Canada’s green skills gap by aligning workforce capabilities with rapid technological change and clean-economy demands, while addressing barriers like housing, childcare, and transportation. Speakers will focus on practical upskilling and apprenticeship pathways that prepare new and mid-career workers for high-demand roles in clean construction, retrofits, and industry. A series of short, punchy “power presentations” will surface big ideas and clearly map where skills and social infrastructure are falling behind project pipelines, spotlighting solutions that can scale now.
