Growth conversations are different right now—and Growth conversations are different right now—and so are the strategies behind them.

On June 16, we’re joining @trbot
at The Quay for three member-led sessions focused on what’s actually driving growth today.
 
The event features sessions from The Career Foundation, @titan_one_inc, and @trends.ceo 
 
At The Career Foundation, we’ll be leading:

Fueling Growth Through Talent
 
Funding opportunities exist to support hiring, training, and retention—but many organizations aren’t accessing them in a strategic or meaningful way.
 
In this session, we’ll explore how to:
• Understand the workforce funding landscape
• Access and apply available supports
• Leverage talent as a driver of growth strategy

Recently, The Career Foundation attended the Keele Recently, The Career Foundation attended the Keele Community Hub Open House, joining a strong network of local partners to connect with residents and share available community supports.

The event saw a great turnout throughout the afternoon, with hub tours, community information tables, cultural performances, and music that brought real energy to the space.

What stood out most were the conversations with community members, who shared their experiences navigating job searches, training needs, and the barriers that can come with accessing employment opportunities. These discussions continue to provide valuable insight into how workforce development services can better reflect real community needs.

Spaces like the Keele Community Hub Open House play an important role in strengthening collaboration across organizations and improving how services are delivered to residents.

Thank you to Councillor councillornunziata for the warm welcome and continued leadership in supporting accessible community spaces and services in the area. We look forward to staying connected and exploring opportunities to further expand access to employment supports for residents.

Grateful to have connected with fellow community partners, including @fyiinto, @midayntayouth, York Hispanic Centre, and @womanact, alongside the @cityofto and other local stakeholders committed to supporting residents.

Land Acknowledgements are often spoken—but their Land Acknowledgements are often spoken—but their true meaning is shaped by what we do next.
 
They are an opportunity to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples as the original caretakers and stewards of the land, while reflecting on our shared responsibility to learn, build respectful relationships, and take meaningful action.
 
At The Career Foundation, we are committed to putting these values into practice through our work with Indigenous communities, job seekers, employers, and partners.
 
This National Indigenous History Month, we encourage you to deepen your understanding of Land Acknowledgements and consider how recognition can lead to meaningful change.
 
🎥 Watch the video to learn more.
