OUR
CHALLENGE
Millennials, those born between 1980 and 2000,
make up a group of about 8.9 million Canadians
and they are the next generation of home buyers, parents, voters and
business owners. They are the first generation to transition from childhood to adulthood during the internet age and they are changing the way
our world works.
Canada is not producing
enough graduates with the
skills needed for its economy.
Improving the links between education and
employment is not the responsibility of educators and governments alone. Employers are
directly implicated: they hire workers to replace
retirees and they invest in training to ensure
employees have the skills needed. Their role
should extend to informing the education and
training systems that will produce their future
employees.
Canadian Chamber of Commerce
Article: Tackling the Top 10 Barriers to Competitiveness 2015
The Conference Board of
Canada found that Canadian
employers have reduced their
investments in training by 40%
since 1993.
Higher education does not necessarily equate
job readiness and employers are needed partners on the bridge from education to employment.

OUR
TESTIMONIALS
PAMELA PATERSON
Bestselling Author, Get the Job
With the youth unemployment rate at such high levels, it is uplifting to find an organization such as SIPO provide valuable professional workshops for youth. When I became involved with SIPO as a conference speaker,
it was evident to me that the founders Kenn and Daniel truly care about helping others succeed. They provide
the necessary information, methodology, and support to better one’s life. When I was asked to join the Board of
Directors, I welcomed the opportunity to serve such an outstanding organization.
COREY ROBERTS
Entrepreneur and Host, UYE (TV Show), Rogers TV
Attending the Power of Ideas Conference was an engaging event that gave me perspective. I got the chance to
learn and connect both directly and indirectly with the speakers. As a result of my attendance, I have pitched,
launched, and produced my own TV show (entitle UYE).
TAMZIDA
Attendee at the 4th Annual SIPOconference
This was an outstanding conference that made me rethink and make strong decisions about my life that will be
good for me in the future.
WALI SHAH
Spoken Word Poet/Songwriter
Ever since I’ve gotten involved with the SIPOfoundation, I have been more focused and driven to work harder for
the things I believe in, and want to see in my life.
ENI RUKAJI
SIPOworkshops Participant
What the SIPO event provided me was invaluable ─ access to leading experts, dedicated coaches, inspiration,
and fresh ideas. By far, the biggest value I got out of the event was that it helped me take that first step in developing my personal brand.
