Purpose
We’re enhancing our community’s workforce by promoting collaboration, innovation and resource-sharing.
Employers and employer-serving organizations play a crucial role in shaping the coalition’s initiatives, sharing valuable insights into industry needs and hiring trends. Education organizations develop the talent pipeline and support students to graduate with the skills to succeed in the job market. Employment services and other non-profit organizations provide information and essential support for job seekers, such as training and career counseling.
Launched in November 2023, the Niagara Workforce Coalition brings together interested parties to build connections, integrate workforce planning, and address workforce challenges.
What we do
We’re enhancing our community’s workforce by promoting collaboration, innovation and resource-sharing. Employers and employer-serving organizations play a crucial role in shaping the coalition’s initiatives, sharing valuable insights into industry needs and hiring trends. Educational institutions develop the talent pipeline and support students to graduate with the skills to succeed in the job market. Employment services and other non-profit organizations provide labour market information and essential support for job seekers, such as training and career counseling.
What we’re working on
How we work
We meet monthly to strengthen our connections and learn about partner activities.
Each organization (or, department if you’re part of a large organization) appoints one representative to attend meetings and share information. This helps balance the agile nature of the group with inclusivity and representation. The hope is that person will act as a conduit for collaborative and weave information to and from their team and Coalition.
Looking ahead
As the Niagara region continues to evolve, so too does the work of the coalition. By staying attuned to shifting economic trends, emerging industries, and evolving workforce needs, the coalition remains agile and responsive, ensuring that its initiatives remain relevant and impactful.
