By 2020, the Conference Board of Canada predicts a country-wide shortage of up to one million skilled workers with an estimated 40 percent of all new jobs in the skilled trades and technology industries. Skills for Change has brought together leading employers, experts and organizations who are focused on building employment solutions.

Skills for Change recognizes the need to create and maintain synergies with community agencies, employers and policymakers in developing strategies that respond to the labour market needs of the local, regional and national economy. We are committed to exploring effective and efficient ways of engaging stakeholders in dialogues regarding skills development and employability opportunities.  

We consider community engagement to be an essential tool in achieving our objective of strengthening the labour force. Take advantage of the networking opportunities, knowledge exchange and share best practices within the business community as we strive to build a world-class competitive workforce.
