Our Advisory Council

The Productivity Project Advisory Council brings together invited leaders from education, industry, workforce development, community, and public policy to provide practical guidance on how human capital can drive Canada’s productivity.

Members contribute timely, candid, and critical input to help ensure the Project’s research and public outputs remain grounded in real-world learning and labour-market conditions. The Council is advisory only, and members participate in a personal capacity rather than formally representing their organizations.
