EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Using statistical data as well as feedback obtained from employers, educators, employment service
providers and a variety of other local stakeholders, the Local Labour Market Plan 2020 examines labour
market demand and supply in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) and
Prescott-Russell United Counties.
In 2017, EOTB released a three-year plan for workforce development in the region. This final update
provides an update of activities addressing four priorities:
1. TRANSITIONING WORKERS TO MEET LABOUR MARKET SHORTAGES.
2. ADVANCING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESSION PLANNING.
3. ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY PLANNING THAT LEVERAGES TALENT AND
SUPPORTS PROSPERITY.
4. GATHERING, ANALYZING AND COMMUNICATING MEANINGFUL LABOUR
MARKET INFORMATION.
