Engineering is at the heart of Canada’s ambitious infrastructure goals – so much of what we want to accomplish relies on expertise from the consulting engineering sector and related professional services. We have world-class engineering professionals, but how do we ensure we will have the necessary capacity? The answer to that has many prongs, says Philip Rizcallah, CEO of Engineers Canada. He and ACEC President and CEO John Gamble explore all of them, including immigration and fostering the next generation of students, in our latest podcast episode. Listen here.
