The workshop will focus on reflective activities and real-world scenarios that enable students to understand their passions, purpose, and how they can link to their future career aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). After students understand their unique qualities, they can evaluate how to use them to process the SDGs in Canada and beyond. The workshop provides participants with an understanding of why the SDGs are important, what skills are needed to achieve them, and how they can personally contribute to the 2030 agenda through the future of work in Canada.
