Right-skilling for tomorrow’s workforce
ACCC, EdmontonJune 5, 2011

Trends: Skills Shortages
• Several interesting trends in the labour market in Canada.
• Some examples of skills shortages:– Trucking: 37,000 a year over the next 5 years– Construction: 150,000 retiring workers 2005 - 2014 – Tourism: 300,000 new jobs over the next decade – Mining: about 81,000 needed in the next decade– ICT: 106,000 in the next 5 years– Supply Chain: annual shortage of 86,000 employees

Jobs of tomorrow
• Various estimates suggest 60 to 75% of the jobs that today's kindergartners will hold, do not yet exist.
• And other estimates suggest upward of 65% to 81% of jobs of the future in Canada will require post-secondary education
www.councils.org
Workplace training
• Workplace training not big in Canada
30 percent of adult workers in Canada participate in job-related education and training; compares with 35 percent in UK and 45 percent in US.
Under 25% is employer funded.
(However, a small but growing group of people take courses with no employer support. The participation rate of that group increased from 4% to 10%.)

The ageing workforce: Retirements
• With an aging workforce in Canada, the majority of future job openings will be the result of retirements.
• About 70% of all job openings during the 2006-15 period will be to replace retired workers (3.8 million out of 5.5 million), up from an average of about 51% over the previous ten years.

What do we need to do?
• One of the solutions is to “right-skill” our current and future workforce the best we can.
That means:• Have employers better articulate their demand.• Have training and education better respond to the
needs (supply).

Sector Councils are tasked with implementing industry-driven labour market solutions in key sectors of the economy; “the voice of industry on skills development issues”
– Some 35 sector councils cover over 50% of Canada’s workforce
– First ones began in late 1980s– Reaching close to 50% of labour market– Public & private funding support– Growing expectations
