DIVERSEtalks: Conversations for Change | Trends in Employment

Описание: In this episode of DIVERSEtalks, host Ria Renouf sits down with Alison Ireland, Senior Manager of Employment at DIVERSEcity, to explore the shifting landscape of work in Canada and what it means for today’s jobseekers.

With unemployment rising — especially among youth — Alison shares what she’s hearing on the ground from both jobseekers and employers and helps unpack the trends shaping the labour market, from youth employment patterns to employer expectations to the realities of a multigenerational workforce.

Together, they dive into how young people are navigating today’s job market, the unique challenges faced by culturally diverse workplaces and the benefits that diversity brings to innovation and creativity. Alison also highlights the role of DIVERSEcity programs like Future Leaders, Troopers, RBC Start It Right and supportive employment services in helping people enter and thrive in the workforce.

She leaves listeners with insight, optimism and a clear message about what matters most as we adapt to the future of work.
