December 03, 2012

The CIBC has posted a research report that highlights the nature of Canada’s skills shortage. The data for the report were gathered by employer interviews.

Commentary

One thing that stands out in a cursory review of job vacancies from northern employers are the demands for engineers of all kinds and mining employees.
