THE NORTH: LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
Northern Ontario is changing and growing, so it’s the perfect time for you to join us. Long time workers are retiring and the labour market is expanding. All of this is good news for you. You’re at the start of your academic journey, perfectly positioned to receive the education you’ll need to take on your roll in filling the North’s employment gap. The Far Northeast Training Board conducted an expansive study of the labour market in northeastern Ontario in 2015, projecting an annual employment gap of over 5,000 workers annually, with the majority of those job openings requiring a college level education.
