Editor's Notes
- Despite growing workforce skills gaps, current processes to connect talent with opportunities remain inefficient. Too many students fail to see relevance in their studies to future work roles. They don’t know how to identify local employers who need their unique talents. Thus, they lack motivation to optimize learning opportunities public education and local training providers offer. The fastest growing youth cohorts tend to be the poorest-served. At the same time, most adults are not in jobs that engage them emotionally. Too many are unemployed, underemployed, or marginalized. Employers have no efficient mechanism to identify future talent in their own community. They insist schools are not producing graduates with the employability and applied (soft) skills, character and attitude they need. So employers cast their talent nets across the country and around the globe to find and re-locate the talent they need while students are dropping out of school in the employer’s community and adults are yearning for meaningful opportunities at home. All in all, the process of matching talent to opportunity is hit-and-miss, and there are vast economic and human consequences
- Projected peak in 2011. After 2011 Ontario’s/Canada’s population will decline dramatically, falling to 61% by 2030, and continuing to decrease thereafter, to reach 59% by 2050.
- It is projected that by 2016 Canada will have 1,350,000 unskilled workers (about 8% of total workforce) in a country that can no longer absorb unskilled workers. Even in 2010 there are more than a million unfilled vacancies begging for skilled workers. It is getting harder and harder for employers, large and small, to find people to: a) replace those who are retiring; and b) with the knowledge, skills and attitudes they now need in their workforce to assure survivability, let alone growth. The perfect storm will hit in the next decade when the supply of talent falls, and remains, substantially below demand. Rick Miner, February 2010, People Without Jobs, Jobs Without People The good news is that there are and will be for years to come more than enough good 21 st century jobs available for every Canadian that wants to work. However, most will have to “ up-skill ” to qualify for them. Moreover, we must dramatically increase labour force participation rates among traditionally under-represented, socially excluded groups such as aboriginal peoples, lower socio-economic groups, new immigrants, and the disabled.
