While other markets face long recoveries ahead, forecasts for environmental employment demand are positive with job openings anticipated to approach a quarter million by 2029.
Investing in human capital is vital to the success of Canada’s green economy and is a shared responsibility among employers, workers, governments and educators. Workforce attraction, retention and development strategies and solutions help ensure an adequate supply of skilled workers to meet the environmental human resource needs of today and in the years to come.
