Grab your lunch and join us online as Deloitte shares the findings of a comprehensive attraction and retention study conducted across the region. Findings:

• include the insights of 660 local employers, employees and job seekers,
• explore the current and projected future state of the region’s labour market,
• highlight priorities to overcome challenges related to recruiting, retaining and training skilled workers.

Members of the Regional Workforce Development Partnership will talk about how they are working with employees and community, putting the data to work to drive strong economic growth in the region.

• What initiatives are underway aimed at ensuring there are enough workers in the region with the right skills and supports?
• What does this mean for your businesses and for workers?
