The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) welcomes a significant investment from the Government of Canada’s Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program aimed at strengthening workforce development and labour market intelligence across Canada’s key economic sectors, including agriculture and agri-food.
The funding will support 14 sector organizations, including the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC), in developing consistent, foundational labour market information (LMI) and practical workforce tools to help industries address labour shortages, support job seekers, and adapt to a rapidly changing economic landscape.
Through this $6.9 million investment over the next five years, CAHRC will expand its work delivering trusted labour market intelligence and workforce solutions for Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector. The Harvesting Success: Workforce Development and Labour Market Solutions for Canadian Agriculture project will support the development of real-time, enhanced labour market and skills forecasting and analysis, and employer-focused tools designed to better align workforce supply and demand across the agricultural value chain. It will also enable the continued work of the National Workforce Strategic Plan for Agriculture and Food and Beverage Manufacturing, including bringing industry together in an annual Workforce Summit.
