Washington D.C. (PRWEB) June 17, 2005 -- The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a non-profit think tank,
professional association and educator in talent management strategies, and SFU
Business at Simon Fraser University (SFU), consistently ranked among
Canada’s top comprehensive universities, announced today a partnership to
develop a series of Human Capital Leadership programs for the Vancouver area. As
a key component of the agreement, SFU Business will host a series of live
Network events featuring executives, faculty, and other leaders who have
successfully integrated talent management strategies into their
organizations.
"We look forward to working with SFU Business at their new
Segal Graduate School of Business," said Allan Schweyer, HCI's Executive
Director. "When SFU's new, state-of-the-art graduate business education facility
opens in September 2005, it will be the perfect environment for our
partnership’s networking events for the Vancouver professional
community."
The first Network event is a breakfast seminar that will take
place at SFU Harbour Centre on Wednesday, July 6, and will feature Dave Lefkow,
Director of Market Development for Jobster and award-winning author of numerous
articles on technology, recruiting and branding. Lefkow's topic, "Let the Games
Begin! Hiring Top Talent" will provide an insightful look at the upcoming
"perfect storm" of employment forces: the convergence of a booming economy in
British Columbia, the upcoming Olympics and significant demographic factors in
the labor market. Lefkow will tie these issues to practical ways the business
community can engage in forward-looking workforce planning and innovative
recruiting techniques. For more information about the event and to register,

This
inaugural Human Capital Leadership event is being held in conjunction with a
two-day Campus Recruiting Forum, featuring HCI's Executive Director, Allan
Schweyer, and other prominent recruiting experts. The mission of the forum is to
provide organizations the intensive training, exchange of ideas and innovations
needed to succeed. The program is timely for the Vancouver area, given the
recruiting challenges many sectors are now facing. To learn more or register for

"By partnering with
high-caliber organizations like the Human Capital Institute, SFU Business
continues a heritage of innovative programming that brings leading-edge
management thinking to the Vancouver business community,” said Ernie Love, Dean
of SFU Business. "With access to HCI’s next generation research and tools SFU
Business will continue to provide practical strategies and best practices to
those who recognize that effectively managing talent is key to remaining
competitive."
