The end of the worldwide recession won’t necessarily mean a return to prosperity in Ontario. A new research report by Dr. Rick Miner shows that a huge portion of the province’s population in the years ahead will be simply unemployable, due to insufficient skills and education. This will leave employers struggling to fill vacant positions and create escalating social-assistance costs for government.
Dr. Miner’s report constitutes a call to action for government, businesses and educators to address this urgent problem.
Please join us on February 3rd when Dr. Rick Miner, President Emeritus of Seneca College and
Independent Consultant with Miner Management Consultants discusses these trends and the future of Ontario’s Labour Market.
