The CWB Association has had the honor of working with Skills/Compétences Canada on a special Podcast Series interviewing members of the National Alumni Committee (NAC) from each province and territory to share their Skills journey. Every year, hundreds of Canadian youth participate in the Skills Canada National Competition and become alumni of their programs. The NAC was formed to create, support, and provide guidance to the Skills Canada provincial and territorial Alumni Associations across the country.

Today’s guest is Sam Turgeon-Brabazon, a young innovator passionate about having a positive impact on his community. Since he first became involved with Skills Compétences Canada in 2015, he has gained extensive experience in public policy analysis, business development, government relations, and interdisciplinary project management while working at the House of Commons and after at startups in regulated industries. Currently, Sam is enrolled in the M. Management Innovation and Entrepreneurship program at the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University. As President of the Skills Ontario Alumni Association, Sam is passionate about fostering mutually beneficial collaborations with industry stakeholders and governments, alike, to bolster the pipeline of up-and-coming talent in Ontario and across Canada.
