The final series of Workforce Development Roundtable Discussions for 2015-16 will take place in September throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

To date, approximately 180 people have participated in 16 Workforce Development Roundtable Discussions. A full list of remaining roundtable discussions can be found in the attached backgrounder.

Members of the local business community, post-secondary institutions, employers, labour organizations, municipal and local leaders and representatives of community groups are all encouraged to attend.
