About this event

    Across the country there are labour market shortages as employers struggle to recruit and retain employees. In rural areas, the issue is compounded by an aging workforce, a lack of newcomers, and a declining youth population.

    There are, however, groups of people who want to work but are having difficulty securing employment.

    This labour market forum, organized by Algonquin College in partnership with United Way East Ontario, Lanark-Renfrew Labour Market Group and Lanark-Renfrew Local Immigration Partnerships, will focus on solutions to increasing the participation of underrepresented populations in the rural workforce; including people with disabilities, newcomers, Indigenous peoples, older workers, youth, sole support parents, etc.

    This is an in-person event organized by Algonquin College in partnership with United Way East Ontario, Lanark-Renfrew Labour Market Group and Lanark-Renfrew Local Immigration Partnerships
