North
Etobicoke has a high concentration of industries
and a diverse work force, conditions that are essential
for economic growth. Through the Economic Development
and Employment Work Group, NERP aims to work with
local businesses to strengthen the economic and
social well being of the area. Another goal of the
work group is to increase local hiring by local
businesses, through outreach to employers to promote
the skilled residential population of north Etobicoke.
The work group is also interested in facilitating
and strengthening linkages among local businesses.
Members of this work group include local employment
service agencies, political officials and City resource
staff. |
| Current/recent
activities: |
With funding provided by the Government
of Ontario, through the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, this work group has been carrying
out an employer capacity cluster study to
identify employment growth opportunities
and the human resource and training needs
among businesses in north Etobicoke. As
part of the study, over 100 local employers
responded to a survey that was conducted
over the last few months. The results of
this study will be disseminated through
a community workshop series and a one-day
conference (details to be announced soon).
The funding also enables the development
of this website, through which NERP provides
current information relevant to local employers
and residents.
If you are interested in becoming a member
of this work group, please contact
us for more information. |
