ITT Model: Workforce Development

Workforce development includes all the activities undertaken to increase the size and skill level of the labour pool. Effective workforce development initiatives require partnerships among a number of stakeholders, including companies, community agencies, resource centres, post-secondary institutions, private trainers and governments.

 

 

Workforce development includes:

• Building skills of a local labour force to meet workforce needs in that area
• Working with educators to create relevant training
• Partnering with youth, Aboriginal, women's and immigrant programs and resource centres to identify skill gaps and develop workplace programs for skill development
• Supporting apprenticeship programs for skilled trades
• Participating in career fairs
