Carol Stewart arrived in London in 1994, “just passing through” for graduate school at Western. She’s still here, thanks in large part to the London community and its citizens which offer many reasons for visitors to stay a little (or a lot) longer. Today, as Project Manager for Employment Sector Council (ESC), Carol works closely with dozens of employment service provider organizations and community partners to develop and deliver integrated and community-based approaches to London’s regional workforce success. For more than a decade, she has been surrounded and supported by the best: a collaborative network of employment sector champions offering many lessons on seamless, diverse, and inclusive employment and training services for our job seekers, our students, and our employers who seek always-evolving workers’ talents and skills.
