Drake International sets direction for its Next 75

Building on 75 years of belief in people to meet the changing needs of organizations, individuals, and communities

TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Drake International today set out its direction for the Next 75, evolving how it helps people and organizations succeed as technology reshapes how we work, learn and live. Its vision is clear: a world where potential is realized.

For 75 years, Drake has believed that people can achieve more when they have the right opportunity, support, and conditions to succeed. As AI changes roles, skills and the capabilities organizations need, Drake is building on that belief to help people prepare for an unpredictable future. Its brand platform is based on a simple point of view: the future needs people. Human judgement, empathy, and ingenuity remain essential to progress. And AI becomes a capability multiplier.

"The future of work is not just about technology. It's about understanding what people can do, the capabilities they bring and how people and technology can work together," said Karen Meredith, Global CEO, Drake International. "For 75 years, we've believed in the potential of people. That belief remains at the heart of Drake as we help organizations and individuals navigate what comes next."

For organizations, this means helping leaders understand the capabilities they have today and those they will need tomorrow, then bringing together the right mix of people, skills, and technology to deliver outcomes for their customers. Drake's workforce insights, recruitment, managed services and certification and assessment expertise help organizations improve performance while managing cost and risk.

For individuals, it means helping people understand their potential, explore career paths, develop and demonstrate their skills, and connect with work and development opportunities. Through their Health & Wellbeing services, Drake also supports people to live with dignity and greater independence, prepare for and grow their careers in healthcare, and find support when they need it.

To make that breadth of support easier to understand and access, Drake is bringing its businesses together under Drake International, supported by a refreshed brand and website launching today. It is also introducing Drake Workprint, a free assessment that helps individuals understand how they show up at work recognizing that each individual is unique.

Drake's purpose, to be a force for good in the communities it serves, guides this next chapter. Helping people and organizations realize their potential, creates opportunity that reaches beyond the workplace, strengthening families and communities.
