Event Time: 10:00am
The automotive and advanced manufacturing sector in Canada is rapidly changing, and so is the labour force and skills requirements, as the industry transitions towards electrification and a decarbonized economy.
As an industry stakeholder, you are being invited to attend the upcoming Industry Consultation webinar on June 28, 2023, focusing on the Eastern Ontario Region, which includes the Ottawa, Kingston-Pembroke, and Muskoka-Kawarthas Economic Regions, as we discuss:
- What labour market impacts are occurring in your region due to the current and future shift from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) to Electric Vehicles (EV)?
- In what occupations and skills are there shortages? How are you addressing shortages (e.g. training, new hires, immigration)?
- Any other trends affecting the Automotive and Advanced Manufacturing sector’s labour force we should be aware of?
Who should attend?
Automotive industry personnel, academic institutions, work force and career development professionals, government, consultants, students, those seeking to gain entry into the automotive sector, employees transitioning or seeking to learn more about future employment needs of the industry.
The Future of Canadian Automotive Labourforce (FOCAL) Initiative, funded in part by the Government of Canada (Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program), is a collaboration of the Canadian Skills Training and Employment Coalition (CSTEC), the Automotive Policy Research Centre (APRC) and Prism Economics and Analysis.
