Workforce Planning Boards across northern Ontario are collecting information from local employers in the mining and mining supply/services sectors. This survey also includes questions relevant to firms that provide professional-technical as well as ICT-High Tech services to these sectors.
The focus area is Greater Sudbury as well as the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin.
SURVEY OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this survey is to understand the workforce and skills that will be required to support the range of new technologies and innovations that are or will be implemented over the next 3-5 years in the mining and mining supply/services sectors. Many of these changes are driven by, but not exclusive to: improving safety and efficiency, mitigating risk, minimizing environmental footprint, reducing production and workforce costs, increasing global competitiveness, creating ‘smart’ mines, and increasing profitability.
