Red Deer Local Immigration Partnership, Central Alberta Economic Partnership and Business Support Network are inviting you to Shaping Tomorrow’s Workforce: A Charter for Change.
On Fri., March 22, 2024, at Setters Place from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., the future of the workforce will be discussed. Organizers say this event will bring together industry leaders, educators, and policymakers to explore innovative solutions for shaping a more dynamic, diverse, and inclusive workforce. The event is described as an opportunity to be a part of the conversation and drive positive change in the workplace.
The Workplace Inclusion Charter document is said to be focused primarily on small to mid-size employers in Red Deer and Central Alberta, who often do not have administrative and financial capacity and/or leadership expertise to introduce inclusion policies and practices. Officials say it does not take aim specific industries, as the need for more skilled employees is common across all sectors.
According to organizers, there are various statistical projections about the aging population resulting in lower labour force participation and therefore shortage of labour force over the next 10 years in western countries, including in municipalities like Red Deer and central Alberta. Officials suggest this is creating a competitive environment for general attraction of skilled workers.
