Join us for a conversation on the opportunities and critical challenges for workforce growth in two sectors that are key to a competitive, low-carbon Canada.
Hosted by The Transition Accelerator. Co-presented by EHRC & Future Skills Centre
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.
Is Canada’s workforce ready to take advantage of the economic opportunities? How are industries planning to make sure they have a world-class skilled workforce? How will potential tariffs impact projections and plans? Join us for a conversation on the opportunities and critical challenges for workforce growth in two sectors that are key to a competitive, low-carbon Canada.
