The Whistler, Squamish, Pemberton and Mt. Currie communities have come together to launch a Local Workforce Survey throughout the Sea to Sky corridor to officially study the current and future needs of workers and businesses in the region. Both workers and employers are needed to take part.
This study will be used to identify barriers to job seekers, better understand the importance of adequate wages, benefits and housing, and to determine where there are labour shortages as well as identifying skills gaps that could be addressed with training and education. It will provide valuable data for community advocacy relating to the need for training funds, housing solutions, work permit changes and other resources.
The survey is divided into Employee and Employer sections and is open from October 4 to 24th:
