Employment and Skills Strategies in Canada
This report delivers evidence-based and practical recommendations on how to better
support employment and economic development in Canada. It builds on sub-national data
analysis and consultations with local stakeholders in four case study areas across
Ontario and Quebec. It provides a comparative framework to understand the role of
the local level in contributing to more and better quality jobs. The report can help
federal, provincial, local policy makers in Canada build effective and sustainable
partnerships at the local level, which join-up efforts and achieve stronger outcomes
across employment, training, and economic development policies. Co-ordinated policies
can help workers find suitable jobs, while also stimulating entrepreneurship and productivity,
which increases the quality of life and prosperity within a community as well as throughout
the country.
