Rethinking Workforce Development in a Knowledge Economy

Posted on Jul 13th, 2026 (Jul 13th, 2026) by Elizabeth Rees-Johnstone
Elisabeth Rees-Johnstone, Executive Director of OISE CPL | InnovED, represented the University of Toronto as a confirmed speaker in the Workforce Development and Future Skills Collaboration roundtable at the Saudi Arabia–Canada Investment Forum, Jeddah, July 9, 2026.

Across every sector discussion at the Saudi Arabia–Canada Investment Forum, the same question surfaced: who develops the human capability required to realize our economic ambitions? Elisabeth Rees-Johnstone reflects on what that means for universities, industry, and the future of workforce development.
