OVERVIEW

WHAT IS A HACK·A·THON?

A Hackathon is a collaborative learning event where individuals from diverse groups and expertise come together to solve a specific challenge in a short period of time. Participants form teams, brainstorm, and develop collaborative solutions and questions that support better solutions. The method provides a dynamic learning environment that fosters creativity and rapid problem-solving.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Trade labour is pivotal in maintaining and advancing Canada’s economic stability and growth. Canada has experienced significant trade labour shortages that have challenged infrastructure development, housing, and industrial projects for many years. These shortages are partly due to an aging workforce, migration trends, a shift in education away from the trades, and many other factors. The impact is profound, resulting in delayed projects, increased costs, and strained supply chains.
WHAT VALUE CAN I EXPECT

By attending this event, participants will cover:

  • Understand the Challenge. Deepen your understanding of Canada’s trade labour capacity challenge and gain insights into the causes, available resources, current policies, and untapped opportunities to address labour shortages.
  • Participate in Collaborative Problem Solving. Engage with professionals and students from our vibrant community of supply chain professionals to assess the impact of trade labour shortages on supply chains and the actions others are taking to address this problem.
  • Develop your Supply Chain Network. Meet and network with Supply Chain leaders, constructors, and members of our diverse supply chain community to stay connected with industry issues and trends.
