Neil has particular interests in labour market information, statistics, and future outlook. He has presented on a variety of career development topics at local venues including Chapters Active Minds series as well as provincial and national professional conferences. Neil has appeared as a career development expert on television in Toronto and has been quoted in career articles in major media outlets including the Toronto Star and workopolis.com.
