Your Career Guide
Steven Wang
CEO, Venture For Canada
As the world of work evolves, Canadians need the skills, experience, and opportunities to adapt and thrive.
The future of work isn’t coming, it’s here and we need to provide Canadians with skills that help them succeed. We need to help them adapt.
But preparing Canadians for it will take more than teaching new skills. It will require the ability to adapt, solve problems, spot opportunities, and act on entrepreneurial skills that are increasingly essential in any workplace.
Canadians also need opportunities to put those skills into practice, while employers need new ways to access and develop talent.
Turning skills into opportunity
That’s what Venture for Canada is working to build. Since 2013, we’ve been creating and testing ways for Canadians to build their experience, employers to build their teams, and people at different stages of their careers to build their next move. So far, that has included paid internships, programs like Sales & AI, Solopreneurship, and Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition, and new frameworks to help SMEs adopt emerging technologies.
We approach this work as an innovation lab: testing new ideas, learning what works, and turning those lessons into pathways that can strengthen Canada’s entrepreneurial future.
We can’t predict the future of work, but we can build the pathways Canadians need to thrive in it.
