The Labour Market Group of Renfrew and Lanark (LMG) has released its 2024-2025 labour market report and is inviting community members to join a Virtual Launch of the report findings on Wednesday, March 19 2025 at 1:00pm. This event will focus on highlighting the latest labour market trends including changes to government policy on immigration and international students, the impact of a higher cost of living and the economic uncertainty created by political turbulence, particularly between Canada and the United States.
The presentation will share information on the local intelligence that was gathered about the trends, opportunities and threats to our local labour market. The report is both a record of the conditions that exist in our region and a playbook for partnerships that will support labour market adjustment at a time when we are facing many challenges to recruit and retain the workforce that the region needs to ensure future economic and socio-economic prosperity.
Building innovative workforce solutions starts with having a strategic plan. The local labour market planning report can be used by employers, educators, employment support agencies, economic developers, job seekers, and industry associations. The report helps build understanding of how these trends impact our daily life in Renfrew and Lanark counties.
Join the Labour Market Group of Renfrew and Lanark for this one-hour presentation to gather information that can be used to support your organization’s future planning.
