The Labour Market Group (LMG) is asking regional businesses and organizations to share their opportunities and challenges.
The Northeastern Ontario 2025 Employee Recruitment, Training and Retention Survey is available online.
Officials say it includes questions on human resources issues, including:
- Workforce changes in 2024
- Anticipated workforce changes in 2025
- Hard to fill positions
- Recruitment practices
- Skills development and training
- Technological and environmental changes
- Challenges and opportunities moving forward
LMG says the survey results will provide a comprehensive labour market snapshot, identifying key issues and challenges faced by businesses and industries across the Northeast Region.
“The goal is to have timely, relevant and localized information to guide the planning of employment and training programs, to ensure that those programs align with the needs of employers, and to support efforts to increase the availability of a skilled workforce throughout Northeastern Ontario communities,” states a release.
The four Northeastern Ontario Workforce Planning Boards, including the Far Northeast Training Board, the Labour Market Group, the Algoma Workforce Investment Corporation, and Workforce Planning for Sudbury and Manitoulin, have partnered for the initiative.
