By joining the platform, collaborators can engage in discussions about common challenges related to the future of work, allowing organizations across the country to benefit and grow from the expertise of others. The CoP also features a community forum, a searchable member database, and a news feed that provides insights into labour market and skill development trends.

Magnet is a funded consortium partner of Future Skills Centre, committed to leveraging its technology to further FSC’s strategic priority of growing its pan-Canadian network and strengthening Canada’s labour market ecosystem.
The CoP represents a first-of-its-kind initiative in Canada, offering stakeholders a forum for collaborative learning and peer-to-peer support in the areas of skills development and training. Thanks to easier connections and faster exchange of information, the connections fostered by the CoP bring together a fragmented sector and enable new ideas and solutions to take root.

As AI becomes increasingly powerful, our distinctly human capabilities become more valuable. Mark explores why judgment, discernment, intuition and agency remain essential advantages, and why developing these capabilities will help us navigate a future shaped by rapidly advancing technology.
Your skills are part of what you do, but they do not define who you are. Mark explores why anchoring our identity in deeper capabilities like problem solving, adaptability and systems thinking can help us confidently navigate changing technologies and careers.
As AI takes on more of our everyday thinking and work, how do we continue developing judgment and wisdom? Mark explores the idea of “cognitive gyms,” intentional ways to exercise our thinking, strengthen human capabilities and build experience in the AI era.
Adaptability requires more than learning new skills. Mark explores the continuous cycle of sensing change, realigning our capabilities and putting them into action, while building a future grounded in trust, inclusion, meaningful work and the confidence to embrace new possibilities.
