Taking place on 12-13 May in Toronto and entitled ‘Grow With Talent’, this year’s World Employment Conference – co-organised with ACSESS – arrives at a time of profound economic uncertainty. This gathering of leaders and experts will help define the path forward for the global labour market and set the stage for discussions at the 114th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) in June.
Bettina Schaller, President of World Employment Confederation (WEC) says: “The question at the heart of this year’s World Employment Conference is: how will we mobilise the world’s talent to drive growth in an era of disruption?At a time of accelerating AI adoption, rapid demographic change and an uncertain global economic outlook, pressure on labour markets is intensifying. The issue is no longer simply shortages, but how effectively talent is developed, deployed and matched to where it is needed most.”
As advocates for the private employment services industry, WEC brings together policymakers and business leaders with direct insight into the labour market challenges, from global economic outlook and policy frameworks, to the practical realities of running businesses and connecting people to work.
Now in its 59th year, WEC’s Annual Conference has become a key forum for understanding how labour markets are evolving — and what it will take to make them work better.
