Business, Labour & Community: Planning for Prosperity!
Coming soon! 2015 Labour Market Plan: A multi-year plan for Labour Market Development in Hamilton
Workforce Planning Hamilton will be releasing the 2015 Labour Market Plan at the end of October.
The plan includes an update on Hamilton's current labour market conditions, including unemployment, employment and participation trends over time; top industries by employment; top occupational groups by employment and job posting data.
After consulting with employers and stakeholders in the employment and training community the multi-year plan which we established last year has been updated.
We are excited to collaborate with our community on these projects. WPH encourages education and training institutions, businesses, industry organizations and labour to use the data and information we have compiled to guide their upcoming actions to meet current and future labour market needs.

Free webinar: How to create healthy boundaries, October 22
Nonprofit workers create change every day. But this work often leaves them vulnerable in a variety of ways that can take a huge toll on their health and mental well-being. One way to stay happy, healthy and sane is to create strong boundaries in the workplace.
