Tourism Today
Canada’s workforce is aging. A skill shortage already exists. Over the next decade, the Canadian tourism sector can expect a shortfall of 300,000 employees!
Tourism businesses, small and large, must be better able to attract alternative labour sources to compete successfully in the future. The immigrant workforce, Canadian-born visible minorities, mature workers, persons with disabilities and Aboriginal peoples have long been overlooked, and as a result talent is wasted by either not employing or under employing qualified candidates.
Learn how your business can capitalize on all of the available labour pools. Explore the Youth, Newcomers to Canada, Mature Workers, Persons With Disabilities, and Aboriginal Workers pages – you’ll gain a better understanding of each group and how best to reach them.
For more information on the tourism labour market including size, employment, growth projections and future skills requirements, look to the Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council (CTHRC) and its studies, research reports, and articles.
