Canadian Agricultural Partnership. Place to Grow - Addressing Labour Supply and Training Challenges

Description

Projects will focus on helping to build a strong labour force for agri-food and agri-product sectors by assisting sectors to identify challenges and opportunities related to the supply of labour. In addition, projects will help to implement new sector/commodity activities for attracting, training and retaining labour.

Investigate challenges related to labour supply access, and identifying opportunities to strengthen access to suitable labour supply and labour retention in a sector; support activities that require additional data or validation prior to implementation; projects that work to characterize and understand methods to reach identified target audiences; piloting new experiential, subsector specific training approaches focusing on emerging technical competences and specific job skills to attract or retain suitable labour.
