City of Brampton Workforce Pilot
As part of the CareersNOW! initiative, Food and Beverage Ontario partnered with the City of Brampton to conduct a regional workforce pilot.
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce was engaged to lead the research and complete the commissioned report.
Through stakeholder interviews and research, this pilot explored local barriers (i.e., daycare, public transportation) and opportunities (i.e., local skills training, employment and newcomer associations, infrastructure supports) that impact a successful regional employment pipeline. The pilot spoke with local employers, educators, regional stakeholders and employment agencies in assessing next steps to a job seeker pipeline that will fill immediate regional employment vacancies and provide learnings for other regions.
Thank you to the Steering Committee of regional experts for guiding this important work.
