Introduction to the Research Project
The Vanderhoof Community Labour Market Partnership (VCLMP) project was initiated because many employers in Vanderhoof stated that they are experiencing difficulty hiring skilled labour, and like the rest of the province, they expect it to be a problem in the future.
The main goals of the VCLMP research were to provide data that identifies:
- The sector profiles with particular data on hiring, recruitment or retention challenges for employees.
- Labour market openings and needs.
- The available skill sets and qualifications of resident community members in Vanderhoof.
- And the identification of strategies to assist employers, and the community at-large, in handling labour issues.
The data for the Labour Market Report for the Vanderhoof region was obtained in two ways:
- An Employer Survey was conducted of all employers in the Vanderhoof area who hire any number of employees, including part-time or seasonal labour.
- A Community Survey was conducted of community members between the ages of 15-64 who still expect to be employed in the next 5-10 years.
This project was funded by Service
Canada.
Labour Market Partnerships fall within their mandate
and serve to assist with initiatives such
as
the identifying skilled labour shortages and the development of human resource
strategies to improve
the labour market for employers and employees in the community.
