THE WORKFORCE CHALLENGE
Labour shortages have long been a top concern for industries and trades across North America and is a top issue for sewer, watermain, and heavy construction companies across Ontario. As the population ages, baby boomers retire, and young workers choose different career paths, many companies are struggling to attract the skilled labour they need.
Over the past several years, an increasing number of students and young workers have migrated away from skilled trades in favour of other professions. As a result, industries like sewer and watermain, that struggle to attract and retain early career professionals, are now facing shortages that are making it difficult to complete critical infrastructure projects.
