Canada's oil and gas resources are plentiful and the technology is world-class, but people are the industry's most valuable resources. Every day half a million people across Canada provide the energy, skills and innovation to make oil and gas an efficient, dynamic and sustainable industry. 

The petroleum industry is facing significant human resource challenges. An aging workforce, rapid technological innovation, increased competition for talent and growth are creating labour and skill shortages. The petroleum industry will need strategic solutions to address the challenge. 

The goal of the Petroleum HR Council is to help industry develop a sustainable, skilled and productive oil and gas workforce. The Council develops strategies, solutions, products and services to help the oil and gas industry address its human resource challenges. We accomplish this through providing expert knowledge on petroleum labour market trends and strategic HR solutions. The Council is the primary resource to address workforce development and labour market issues in the Canadian petroleum industry.
