Unlocking our Talent Potential was created by business, for business. Intended to advance the conversation and spur increased collaboration on talent and labour shortages in Calgary, Unlocking our Talent Potential tables creative ideas and opportunities that all levels of government can capitalize on to strengthen our talent pipeline and eliminate gaps experienced by many businesses – large and small.

To develop the recommendations contained within, the Calgary Chamber convened a policy council with thought leaders from businesses across several sectors, post-secondary institutions, childcare providers, immigration law firms, recruitment firms, professional services, and small business owners. We spoke directly with young Calgarians and, consulted local businesses. Bringing together a diversity of participants, we have endeavoured to ensure our recommendations reflect the diversity of Calgary’s business community and work towards a more equitable and just economy and society.
