This is what we do

Playing a leadership role in the development of innovative labour market strategies

The Board accomplishes its mandate by working collaboratively with business, workforce and community organizations to plan and initiate projects and programs that address the specific needs of workforce development in Bruce, Grey, Huron and Perth counties.

We’re here for you by providing reliable local labour market insights…

Research

Reliable localized labour market information equips our community partners with an accurate reflection of existing market conditions so they can respond with meaningful and purposeful economic and education planning at the grass roots level.

Awareness

Encouraging awareness of market trends, career paths, employment options and opportunities in the local community to attract and retain our local workforce. 

Labour Market

Navigating labour market supply and demand among regions, occupations and industries is complex.  We make it easy by providing data on job trends, population changes, employment rates and more.

Workforce

By tracking workforce indicators and identifying current and emerging workforce trends we provide our community partners with relevant local data to build and coordinate appropriate responses.

Employer One Survey

This is a bi-annual Survey.  The ongoing importance of the EmployerOne Survey is to collect and summarize local workforce data directly from employers.   This information is crucial to local organizations engaged in workforce attraction and retention strategies, strategic planning, and other community projects requiring local labour market data.    In a rural labour market, this type of data can be challenging to acquire.  The EmployerOne continues to fill this need for many local stakeholders.
