Workforce Planning Ontario Grant
Overview of the Workforce Planning Ontario Grant
Workforce Planning Ontario is a network of 25 Workforce Planning Boards covering four regions in the province, funded by the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development. The boards gather intelligence about the local labour market, work with employers to address skills needs, and coordinate community responses to labour market issues.
Each board conducts localized research and engages organizations to address specific labour market challenges. Through community partnerships and volunteer opportunities, the boards aim to enhance understanding of job sectors, in-demand skills, and training resources for career advancement.
The Workforce Planning Boards focus on recruitment, retention services, and guiding individuals towards promising job sectors. By connecting stakeholders within the labour market, the boards strive to meet the evolving skills demands of employers and foster a vibrant employment landscape across Ontario.
This grant initiative supported by governments at both federal and provincial levels offers valuable resources and information for individuals seeking training, employment, and labour force insights through community collaborations and workforce development efforts.
