The Local Labour Market Plan 2021-2022 |
Workforce Planning Hamilton has created a report to provide an update on the state of the local labour market in 2021 and reflect on preliminary insights for 2022. Hamilton’s labour market has faced an unprecedented impact in the last two years due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As the pandemic ensued, a complex and changing narrative followed, making it difficult to describe and predict the outcome.

How To Conquer Your Nerves When Interviewing |
Interviewing for a job is anxiety-inducing and stressful for even the most confident people. To add another layer of difficulties, searching for a job in this new uncertain environment may be more challenging than it was compared to the last twelve plus months. Only a short while ago the job market and economy looked solid.
Slowly, then all of sudden, we’re forced to confront runaway inflation and other macro geopolitical events that will have a deleterious impact on the job market. Sectors such as tech are downsizing, putting in place hiring freezes and even resorting to rescinding offers. There have been around 17,000 job cuts in the tech space alone. It’s likely that the layoffs will impact other sectors soon.

Skills Development In A Changing World Of Work |
Job polarization, digital transitions and labour shortages are all putting pressure on Canada’s skills development systems to meet new and evolving needs. Working adults are changing jobs more times throughout their lives: multiple career transitions are becoming the rule, rather than the exception. In late 2021, 43% of working Canadians reported that they were likely to look for a new job in the next year.
If we don’t do more to help individuals to prepare for these transitions through access to career guidance and lifelong learning opportunities, Canadian workers – and, by extension, our economy – are at risk of being left behind.
