 Local employers, Employment Ontario employment service providers, Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, City of Hamilton, union, Aboriginal, and newcomer representatives attended Workforce Planning Hamilton's Labour Market Plan Community Forum on September 13/17.
The goal of the session was to identify Hamilton's multi-year labour market priorities and to develop local solutions to address these priorities.

Further brainstorming using the Smart, Measurable, Relevant, Time-based (SMART) method teased out goals, actions, how to reach the project goal, and who would need to be involved to make the initiative a success.
Stay tuned for the full Labour Market Plan heading your way by the end of October!
