![]() HRSDC-IC-SSHRC Skills Research Initiative
Working Paper Series
Rapporteurs' Comments: Summary of Roundtables This Working Paper is listed under all four Themes as it contains the rappoteur's rountable summary for each theme.
Abstract The Skills Research Initiative is a multi-year initiative undertaken by Industry Canada (IC) and Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC), in partnership with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Designed to support the Innovation Strategy of the Federal Government, the research partners identified four skills policy-research themes. They are: labour market and skills implications of population aging in Canada; employer-sponsored training; adjustments in markets for skilled workers in Canada; and international mobility of highly skilled workers. In the first phase of the project, papers reviewing issues for discussion were prepared on each of the four research themes and roundtables of experts from academia, the public and private sectors were held. The main goal of the roundtables was to discuss the knowledge gaps reported in the issues papers and identify promising research directions. An expert from academia was selected as a rapporteur for the day’s discussion at each roundtable. Following the roundtable, each rapporteur prepared a written report that reviewed the key messages of the participants and provide their own suggestions on future research directions. These reports were instrumental in the development of the request for proposals for each research theme administered by SSHRC. This working paper is a compendium of the four rapporteurs’ reports. |
