One of the biggest challenges facing the company at the moment is to find the right combination of attributes on employees, and the problem will only become bigger in the future.
Successful companies know that innovation requires flexibility and, to some extent, embrace the unknown.
We can work out a roadmap for the next few years.
But it's hard to predict what any industry will look like in the next 10 or 20 years.
A recent report by Royal Bank of Canada said that in the next decade, 25% of the work will be interrupted by technology, and half of the Canadian work will require significant adjustments to the required skills.
In this state of uncertainty, it is probably the most important step to acknowledge that we simply do not know what skills are needed in the future.

For interns, work experience helps them develop the skills they need to work.
They learn how to work together in a corporate environment.
They understand the Enterprise from the strategic objectives of the Enterprise to the corporate culture.
They learn how to adapt their technical skills to the problem at hand, which may be very different from their experience in class.
They learn how to use digital and research tools in the workplace, many of which are new to interns.
Moreover, they adapt to work in a diverse, multi-disciplinary and multicultural environment. Work-
