- Toronto Workforce Innovation Group is a member of Workforce Planning Ontario; one of 25 local planning groups funded by the province to identify the skills training/adjustment issues in our local labour markets and work with community partners on initiatives to address those issues.We work to ensure that Toronto is prepared to meet the demands of a changing economy. Our priority is to match the skills in demand with the supply of workers available and build a resilient, competitive and talented workforce. We do this by:identifying workforce issues that are characteristic of the local community; andproviding collaborative solutions by engaging stakeholders and working with partners.

While large job losses for immigrants were found in accommodation and food services (10,200 jobs), other services sectors (9,000 jobs) and construction (6,400 jobs).
- Toronto's economic activity is concentrated in 10 main clusters. These clusters comprise about 37% of economic activity in the Toronto region and account for substantial employment.Each employment sector has unique industry profile shaped by economic, social, political, and environmental factors. These include new/continued economic activity/ projects, public policy changes (ex. Urban economic development, immigration), labour force characteristics, education & training credentials, and shifting market demands for particular supply of labour. * Understanding each sector profile can help you identify possible employment pathways and necessary education training, bridging programs to pursue. As well, it can provide insight on some obstacles in the local labour market.

- Labor Market Information tells the story of the local economy. The labor market consists of:-a demand side (based on the needs of employers)-a supply side (reflects the desire of people to obtainemployment)Utlimately strive to ensure the labour market information can help both jobseekers and job developers: provide better services; make informed decisions; to help clients make informed decisions
- Bridge training programs are funded to help qualified internationally educated individuals movequickly into the labour market in Ontario. These programs, addressing a variety of industries andprofessions, assess IEP’s existing skills and competencies as compared to Ontario employer expectations.They provide training and Canadian workplace experience without duplicating what IEPs learned intheir own countries. Bridging programs vary both by sector and program delivery. Some programs offercomplementary mentoring opportunities with established professionals to help the IEP becomecertified or registered in his/her field, while others include a job placement or internship opportunity.Although bridging programs vary, they can provide:1. An assessment of IEP’s education and skills;2. Clinical or workplace experience;3. Skills training or targeted academic training programs;4. Preparation for a license or certification examination;5. Language training for the specific profession; and6. Individual learning plans to identify any added training that might be needed.14In the Toronto area, bridging programs are offered by both agencies and academic institutions. Thisincludes academic institutions such as the University of Toronto, York University, Ryerson University,George Brown, Seneca and Humber College. The agencies include COSTI, ACCES, JVS Toronto, Microskills,Skills for Change, Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), and CARE for Nurses
- Our strategic workforce priorities are informed by the labour market challenges, which come from our extensive consultations and community collaboration, in combination with the data analysis we do on a continuous basis. Our partnerships are still in the process of being finalized with the community. Based on our research and community consultations (including recent on Jan 15), Toronto’s Current Workforce Priorities are shaped by:Shifting Economic TerrainToronto’s labour market is defined by a large and expanding knowledge sector at the top, a small number of “middle” jobs and a number of jobs at the bottom that is comparable to those in the knowledge sector (‘HourGlass’). As we observed, employment rates and unemployment rate have risen simultaneously from Jan 12-Jan13. This employment pattern will continue as jobs are created on a contract and/or part-time basis. Due to the rising ‘precarity’ (aka labour market insecurity) Toronto’s workforce continues to seek self-employment/entrepreneurial opportunities in social enterprise. As well,Local agencies are voicing increased servicing needs to cater to mental health issues .*Action plans include: Managing Mental Health Issues in Employment Services, a series of professional development workshops with CAMH , in which Service Providers will have enhanced understanding of the resources available for clients who have mental health issues and be able to refer them to effective services2. Managing DiversityToronto’s workforce is made up one of the most diverse populations in the country. Employees, employers and government bodies are seeking out means to ensure inclusive workplaces representative and welcoming of a population that includes differences in age, ethnicity, gender, ability, sexual orientation and gender identity, immigration status and first languages.As the business case for diversity grows in an expanding multi-generational workforce, new HR policies, business practices, and customer service approaches are developed. This results in an increasing need for education and training about the needs of differing staff and customers, Canadian workplace culture, and the benefits that multiple perspectives bring to organizations.*Action plans include: Diversity Webinars with COSTI, a New web-portal for mapping Trade Routes for newcomers(like RTE)3. Digital LiteracyWith the increasing permeation of the digital world into our working lives, combined with the low cost of use, organizations are increasingly seeking out better and more efficient means to manage and enhance productivity and effectiveness. Doing so has greatly affected employee and job seeker training needs in relation to the digital literacy skills required for their current or future professions. Currently,Social media is now used by 82% of employers for recruitment and reference checking of potential employees and it continues to transform traditional job seeking methods. This is a current challenge for labour market integration than can be channeled into an opportunities through awareness and digital literacy.*Action plans include: Social media in job development curriculum with Ryerson and WhoPlusYou Database for specific groups. Our last workshop with job developers on this topic is April 16, thereafter new information and tools will be complied/dissmented4. Growing the Green EconomyToronto is the 2nd greenest city in Canada, after Vancouver. The green energy act has been credited with creating over 40,000 jobs and more are expected. Employment Ontario agencies & counselors emphasize clients are actively pursuing “green” jobs or for work that puts them into the green economy. As such, they require greater clarity on and about green skills education and training programs. Presently, the essential skills necessary for occupations in Toronto’s green economy include both generic and technical skills, and there are a number of training programs that can support the development of basic skills. See our report “Tending Green Shoots”*Action plans include: Building on Green Skills: Conference on Skills Training for the Green Economy, with Green Skills Building Council, First Work – Green Skills Network
