Toronto ON, C.D. Howe Institute, 67 Yonge Street, Suite 300

Rising Leaders Series with Lauren Friese, Karl Moore and Jay Yakabowich

As millennials increasingly come to enter the workforce, business-as-usual might not necessarily be the best way to hire, engage, and support career progression among this demographic. Come hear from experts on how millennials approach their careers differently, and what unique elements employers can use to support the success of this often-caricatured group.
