Sabrina Geremia of Google Canada discusses Canada’s digital transformation … and the skills we’ll need to succeed.

Episode Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated a digital transformation that was already well underway in Canada - just look at the phenomenal rise in online shopping and video conferencing over the past year.

But the digital economy requires new skills. Is Canada’s workforce ready?

“There is this stat that 40% of work is going to be impacted by automation,” says Sabrina Geremia, VP and Country Manager of Google Canada. “The misnomer is it’s 40% of jobs. It’s actually 40% of WORK. Which means every single person will have an aspect of their job that will [involve] working alongside digital tools … so every worker needs to continuously train as these tools evolve.”

For Geremia, lifelong learning is essential to helping Canadians adapt to an ever-evolving work environment.
