Spotlight on Manufacturing: Understanding the evolving skills requirements in manufacturing in Hamilton
Are you a manufacturing employer, or HR manager? HTAB needs you! We'd like to interview you for the Spotlight on Manufacturing project. The manufacturing industry is a vital and growing sector in Hamilton, one with evolving skills requirements, looming retirements by Baby Boomers, and the on-going perception that manufacturing careers aren't viable career paths for youth.
We will take the pulse of manufacturing in Hamilton by interviewing employers and HR managers in manufacturing sub-sectors (food, primary metal, fabricated metal product, machinery, and transportation equipment manufacturing). The results of our research will be presented at a forum for manufacturing professionals in early 2012. A job seeker resource will be developed. To set up a 15 minute interview (either in person, or by phone) call Cyndi Ingle at
905-521-5777 or email: cyndi.ingle@htab.ca. |

HTAB thanks the 107 employers who participated in the August Check-Up. This vital data helps HTAB to monitor the local workforce and plan for future labour market development.
