Call for Proposals: Skills Research
How to Apply:
Future Skills Centre is launching two new open calls for proposals! Our mission is to support skills development and address critical knowledge gaps that shape skills policies, programs, and services. As a pan-Canadian hub for research and collaboration, we're committed to driving innovation in skills and workforce development, ensuring everyone can thrive in the future of work. The Skills Horizon Calls for Proposals will offer funding to organizations nationwide, empowering projects that tackle Canada's most pressing skills and labour market challenges.
We're looking to fund research projects that address key knowledge gaps or explore emerging issues tied to our five focus areas:
- Pathways to Jobs Facilitating pathways for individuals entering, transitioning, and advancing in the labour market.
- SME Adaptability Engaging Canadian employers, especially SMEs, in meaningful skills development and utilization.
- Tech and Automation Preparing workers and employers for a more digital and connected world of work.
- Inclusive Economy Driving labour market inclusion for underrepresented groups, with an emphasis on Black Youth, Newcomers, and Indigenous & Northern Communities.
- Sustainable Jobs Advancing skills development and transition planning for a decarbonized economy.
Our goal is to deliver these research insights to key decision-makers shaping Canada’s future skills and labour market policies, programs, and services.
