WHY A GREEN JOBS FORUM?
In April 2021, our government announced an unprecedented investment in Canada’s Green Recovery. Canada’s workforce must respond quickly; gaining the skills and knowledge necessary to make the most of this opportunity.
Did you know the number of environmental professionals in Canada has increased tenfold over the past decade, yet only 25% of already employed professionals are casually or actively looking for new employment? A growing number of governments, businesses and consumers are committing themselves to conserving resources and reducing environmental impact, meaning green jobs are constantly emerging in areas where they wouldn’t have existed before.
It has become clear that we need to address the labour needs of the growing green industry by preparing todays professionals with the knowledge to answer the skills gaps emerging for tomorrow’s jobs. We need to develop a workforce that can fill the new and existing jobs needed for a sustainable future.
