Canada’s Productivity Challenge Starts with People.
The Productivity Project is a research and policy initiative examining how human capital, learning, skills, work, and recognition systems can strengthen Canada’s productivity and long-term prosperity.
A cross-sector initiative focused on Canada’s productivity future.
The Productivity Project brings together research, policy, business, postsecondary, labour-market, and community expertise to examine one question: how can human capital drive Canada’s productivity?
Canada has a human capital conversion problem.
Canada has deep educational and human-capital strengths, but those strengths do not automatically translate into productivity. The challenge is building systems that help people develop, apply, demonstrate, recognize, and renew capability across changing work and economic conditions.
Research and Reports
The Productivity Project is a collaboration among the Alberta Centre for Labour Market Research, the Alberta Chambers of Commerce, the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, Canada’s Productivity Initiative, Mount Royal University, and the LearningCITY Collective.
