CCAA Forum 2020

On December 10th, 2020, the CCAA held its first ever Virtual National Labour Market Strategy Forum, and from all accounts, it was a tremendous success.

A really big thanks goes out to our excellent panelists and the more than 270 of you who registered for the 3-hour event.  We were really impressed with the quality and substance of the panel discussions and judging from the responses to our post-event survey, so were the attendees.  We were especially pleased that almost everyone who responded to our survey indicated they would like to attend our next virtual event.

We learned a lot from this initial foray into the virtual event format and can promise you our next one will be even better!
