Last year RBC produced a landmark report called Humans Wanted that examined the enormous disruption coming for students and workers over the next decade — and how Canadians need to do much more to build on our human skills, like communication, collaboration and critical thinking, to excel in the age of automation.  

Those with the right foundation have a remarkable future in front of them, as we think there will be more jobs than ever.  And yet, we've created so many divides between our education system and our economy that it's tougher than ever to bridge the gap. 

Over the past year, RBC's John Stackhouse and his team crisscrossed the country, and talked to more than 5,000 Canadians about the skills revolution.  Their latest report, Bridging the Gap, shares the highlights of what students, educators and employers told them — and what we need to do, as a country, to succeed in the decade ahead.
