On November 18, 2022, the GELP Global Delegation visited the Jagriti School for Blind Girls and coordinated a leadership program with some of the amazing students at the school. Students participated in experiential workshops, and alums of the school shared their experiences and career journeys! We look forward towards building this new partnership.
The 2022 Global Summit for Career and Skill Development had 1500+ delegates participating around the world across 15 countries in 4 different continents. Over 3000+ reflections were submitted by participants as a result of their participation in the Summit.
Delegates were officially welcomed by Mobina S. B. Jaffer, QC. She is a Canadian Senator representing British Columbia and the first South Asian woman appointed to the upper house of parliament.
Post-secondary Presidents, Vice Chancellors and Executives from around the world discussed "What is new leadership and how does new leadership succeed in the digital age?" and "What are the new skills and careers emerging within their respective local economies?"
Disruptive technologies impact and change the ways in which we operate our ways of working and being. This workshop took a deep dive on new tech and its influence on the future of work. This session highlighted new trends of disruptive technologies in the workspace and how delegates can embrace change and conquer these challenges.
Thank you to our generous sponsors for making the 2022 Global Summit for Career and Skill Development a success!

Check out some of the impacts and stories related to testimonials for those involved and/or connected to GELP.
In life we often come across opportunities that help us develop as a person. For me that has been GELP. It has equipped me with the relevant skills to develop further as a person and professional in a new country.
Excited to learn about this opportunity that is focused on connection, especially with people across the globe. During the pandemic everyone was isolated and lacking social interactions. GELP provided a platform to re-evaluate where we're at and how we should move forward to develop essential employment skills.
Universities provide technical and theory based learning but the practical soft skills required by most employers are not necessarily included in the standard curriculum. GELP provides a platform for students and young professional to learn and showcase these valuable skills that are essential to their career development.
GELP’s goal is to promote leadership development and to equip global leaders with the tools to create change and impact within their communities.
