Future Skills Centre at Transition Accelerator Event on Workforce Growth for a Prosperous Canada
What kind of skilled workforce does Canada need for a competitive, prosperous future economy—and how do we make sure we have it? As demand for low-carbon energy surges globally, Canada's role as a producer and exporter of critical minerals, electricity and more could come with big opportunities for workforce growth. The electricity sector is focused on how to train, upskill, and hire the workers needed to produce and distribute enough affordable electricity to meet projected demands. Critical mineral supply chains are facing similar issues, which could become even more challenging should efforts to responsibly speed mine approvals succeed.
