This research project by the Electricity Human Resources Council (EHRC) sought to understand how AI is being adopted across Canada’s electricity sector and the implications for workers. Two fundamental research questions guided this project.

This project examined how Canadians with mental health conditions and cognitive differences experience and navigate the labour market, and how their outcomes differ from those of workers with no condition.

This project assessed the economic, environmental, and social contributions of Canada’s green building sector, with a particular focus on growth potential, decarbonization pathways, and workforce implications.

The Stoking the Flame research project from the Re-Seasoning Coalition explored the experiences of Black Canadians working in the foodservice industry.

Machine learning (ML), a rapidly advancing subfield of artificial intelligence, is increasingly reshaping work across Canada’s labour market. ML automates and augments a broad range of job tasks, including non-routine cognitive functions such as learning, prediction, and problem-solving.
