Description:

While parts of North America, the UK and Ireland are facing unemployment issues and slow economic growth, strong economic recovery in Calgary is causing the labour market to tighten; as a result, Calgary is on the verge of another labour shortage across many sectors.

Calgary Economic Development invites employers to a special presentation that will look at some of the occupations that are forecasted to suffer critical skills shortages in Calgary and show where employers can go to attract and recruit skilled workers.

In partnership with Alberta Human Services, and through the work of research firm RDA Global, Calgary Economic Development has developed a detailed analysis of key markets in which talent surpluses exist in Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Ireland. This analysis looks at 25 in-demand occupations, and reveals some new markets that employers can use to further international recruiting efforts.

Join Chris Seals, economist from RDA Global, as he presents the results of this study, and the top-recommended cities for Calgary employers to recruit workers from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
