Access to talent continues to challenge business

6/27/2018

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and Peterborough Chamber released a report in June 2017 which identifies ten recommendations that will better align the skills acquired by Ontarians with those required by employers.

The report, which was developed in partnership with leading officials in the private and educational sectors,  explores the research and general sentiment toward skills development:
  • Of the six in ten of businesses who attempted to recruit staff in 2016, 82 per cent experienced a challenge in hiring someone with the proper qualifications.
  • In the 2018 Ontario Economic Report, 77 per cent of Ontario businesses say access to talent has the largest impact on their competitiveness
The recommendations of the report fall into three buckets:
  1. Exploring the Potential of Experiential Learning
  2. Developing A Systems-Based Approach to Training 
  3. Modernize the Apprenticeship Framework
