Through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, the new Ontario Agri-Careers Support Initiative will support pilot projects that help the sector attract, support and retain workers by developing solutions that enable businesses to better meet the needs of employees.
Examples of pilot projects that could be eligible for funding include:
- transportation initiatives for employees to commute to the job site
- childcare options while parents are at work
- language proficiency solutions for workers with English as a second language
- Improving workspace environments to help retain employees.
The data collected from these pilots will be compiled into a report by the Agricultural Adaptation Council, and shared with Ontario agri-food processors to help identify successful programs that may be utilized in their individual operations with the aim to address long-term labour challenges.
