Join us for a virtual round table discussion on the unprecedented changes facing the aerospace and mobility industries in Quebec and what impact these will have on current university and CEGEP students. Hear from our keynote speaker, the Honorable Jean Boulet, Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Solidarity, followed by a panel discussion from industry and academic experts.
From the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of new technologies — particularly in the area of clean energy — to the challenges of maintaining a competitive workforce, our experienced panel will explore the impact on the industry’s top players and provide advice to students on how to best prepare for a career in aerospace.
The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A with the audience moderated by Christian Moreau, research director at Concordia's Institute for Aerospace Design and Innovation.
