LEPC looking for input on newcomer employment activity

1/23/2018

 
Picture
The Peterborough Chamber of Commerce is a member of the Local Employment Planning Council (LEPC) Industry Business Engagement Working Group.

The LEPC is a provincial pilot project that is in the process of developing a clear picture of the workforce landscape in eight Ontario communities, including the City and County of Peterborough.


​One of the projects is a study of
Newcomer Employment Activity by Laridae and the Workforce Development Board (WDB).

Our Peterborough Chamber members can help out by completing a short survey on their views, concerns and needs with respect to recruiting and hiring newcomers to Canada.
 
Take the survey
 https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EmployersNewcomerProject

The survey will be open until February 5th. It should take about ten minutes to complete. Your response will be anonymous. In addition, please share the survey with other employers.
 
Thank you for taking the time to provide input to this project. Your opinion is valued! 

*About the Newcomer Employment Integration Project
  • The aim of the study is to provide new information to document what's happening in our regional workforce-from the perspective of both newcomer job-seekers and employers.
  • Research findings will feed into future program design and resource allocation for employment services. 
  • Newcomer employment integration is important to the economic success of our region. Canada's aging workforce means that immigration continues to be necessary to ensure a vibrant economy in the future.
  • A key part of the study: what are employer perceptions and needs regarding hiring newcomers, especially in industries that have difficulty recruiting and retaining workers?
  • We are reaching out to local employers, municipalities, economic development organizations, employment service providers, and other agencies that support newcomers in finding and retaining employment. 
  • The study will cover Peterborough City and County, Northumberland County, Haliburton County, and City of Kawartha Lakes. It is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development (MAESD) and administered by the Workforce Development Board(WDB)/Local Employment Planning Council. The final report will be available on the WDB website later in 2018.
