Skilled Trades Employer Focus Group

Description

Have Your Say in Improving The Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship System in Ontario
                       
The Workforce Planning Board has been funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to do an in-depth research study on local in-demand skilled trades and apprenticeships. This In-Demand Skilled Trades Project aims to add local perspectives to the understanding of the labour market conditions for the skilled trades in Ontario as it is being conducted simultaneously by all 26 planning boards across the province.
 
The project aims to engage with local employers at a level not currently available in any data sets or reports. The evidence collected from the project will help inform how government, industry and local communities can work together to increase the talent pipeline to help business growth and support industry competitiveness in the province, particularly in key sectors such as automotive, manufacturing and construction.
 
Through this project we will be able to share honest, anonymous feedback from our local community to the government decision makers which will help to inform the modernization and transformation of Ontario's skilled trades and apprenticeship system which is currently underway. We are hoping you can join us for an upcoming focus group to have your say and help shape the future of skilled trades and apprenticeship.

The Dufferin Board of Trade is pleased to be hosting this Focus Group for Dufferin employers in partnership with the Workforce Planning Board.
