Help us to plan for the workforce of the future

As part of ongoing efforts to support our local businesses and residents, Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo Economic Development & Tourism, in partnership with the Regional Labour Market Committee, is undertaking a Workforce Development Strategy. It is important to have community input into the strategy as we cannot develop the strategy without the first-hand knowledge of your workforce challenges.

An online survey is available for your confidential responses. The survey should take approximately 7 minutes to complete.

The purpose of this online survey is to gather data on the current labour market conditions that will feed into the development of the strategy. The questions in the survey will explore gaps and opportunities related to:

• Current skills demand and supply;
• Future skills demand;
• Qualifications/certification that are hard to find;
• Supply and demand for skills development and training programs, and;
• Perceptions on local resources that support the workforce (i.e. broadband, housing, transportation, childcare services, career development opportunities, etc.).
