Organized by the BC Labour Market Report and GT Hiring Solutions

The 2016 Summer Labour Market Conference is titled: Skills for a Changing Job Market. This year’s conference brings together leaders in business, education, labour and industry to explore the skills that will be needed in the next five to ten years.

British Columbia has entered an ever increasing ‘Skills Shortage’, not a ‘Labour Shortage’ as some might hope. Competition for entry-level employment is extreme while many skilled jobs go unfilled.

Baby-boomer retirements are expected to peak between 2019-2023 and workers with in-demand skills will be the ones who benefit the most.

The key to the future labour market is understanding the changes that will occur as a result of globalization, an aging population, a shrinking workforce and constrained government spending. Our future workforce will be more specialized, able to adjust easily to changes, technologically astute and performance driven.

The 2016 Summer Conference will examine the workplace, social and technical skills individuals must obtain to adjust to these changes. Participants will gain a real understanding of the nature of these changes and what students and job seekers must do to not only survive these changes but thrive in them.
