Survey on Skills Needs from Conference Board of Canada

The Conference Board of Canada is conducting a study on the current and emerging skills shortages facing Ontario employers. The study will identify the occupations and postsecondary credentials that Ontario requires to support future economic growth and prosperity, and spur decision-makers in government, business, and education to take action.

If you are an employer, or make hiring decisions within your company, we would like to invite you to complete an online survey to offer your thoughts about the skills shortages you face, the impacts you expect on your business and the economy, and what strategies leaders in government, business, labour, and education should adopt to address the challenge. The survey is easy to complete and should take approximately 10 minutes to finish.
