Through engagement and collaboration PERT strives to support interested actors to create solutions which can enhance the economic vitality of not only the English-speaking community, but all Quebecers.
On November 22, 2019, the Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) brought together 96 members of the community representing 58 unique organizations to discuss issues and challenges facing the English-speaking community with regards to employment, as well as draft recommendations on key issues identified during the summer of 2019.
