Talent Development Task Force
The Future of Talent.
What is the Talent Development Task Force?
A data-driven strategy connecting business, education, and government to sustain long-term economic competitiveness.
The Talent Development Task Force was founded by the Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) and the Alberta Post-Secondary Network (APSN).
Co-chaired by the CEO of ACC and an APSN member president, the Task Force brings together employers, education providers, and provincial and federal funders to strengthen Alberta’s workforce.
Its core focus is to build a culture of direct engagement between business and post-secondary institutions, aligning education and training with Alberta’s current and future workforce needs.
Recognizing that talent is central to Alberta’s prosperity, the Task Force is committed to developing the next generation of workers, builders, and innovators who will position our province for continued success.
