MCA Canada has two webinars planned in April.

Where Do We Go From Here? – Labour Market Forecast Presented by BuildForce Canada

Each year, BuildForce Canada releases a series of labour market information reports on Canada’s construction industry, outlining the needs of the sector across the country and the trends impacting the industry.

BuildForce Canada’s economist Bob Collins will share some of the recent findings from this year’s reports, including where gaps exist in the mechanical contracting sector, an economic and investment outlook, and an assessment of labour availability for trades and occupations over a 10-year period.

Join us for this informative session on April 7 at noon ET.
