Learning from one another: A comparative analysis of labour market needs and corresponding skills in Northern Ontario, Yukon, and Nunavut

Join us for an exclusive look at research led by the Conference Board of Canada on behalf of the Future Skills Centre, which looks at labour market demand and skills training in Northern Ontario, Yukon, and Nunavut. Gain insights into the demand for employment in each region as we explain the findings of our economic forecasts for each region. We will also present findings on workforce and skills development challenges and solutions that came from in-depth interviews with over 150 employers and skills training organizations across the three regions. This will be followed by a showcase of innovative skills training programs from each region that address important challenges to training in the north.

Attendees will learn about:
• Real GDP and employment projections for each region over the next 20 years
• What occupations and skills will be in demand in each region over the next 20 years
• Evidence-based strategies to support workforce development and skills training
• Examples of innovative training programs
