The Four County Labour Market Planning Board (FCLMPB) wants to hear from local employers. The Employ- erOne survey is seeking relia- ble local labour market infor- mation from employers, while respecting the employer's confidentiality and limited time. The survey is designed to gain an understanding of the demand-side in our area's labour market. The once a year survey will provide much needed data to assist with economic and workforce development in the region. It is an opportu- nity for community partners, such as Employment Ontario Service Providers and educa- tors, to coordinate a single outreach to employers rather than conduct multiple surveys. "We want to continue using your input as the basis for our answer to workforce challenges," said Gemma Mendez Smith, FCLMPB executive director. "Response to our Skills Gap Study has formed the founda- tion for many initiatives in the community, and we want to keep building on that foundation:" Completing the survey pro- vides employers with a voice to communicate the current occupational, training and skills needs in their business, and gives them their say in how we train and equip their future workforce. The success of the survey will be deter- mined by the involvement of local employers as they are the ones to benefit from for Jeremy and Nicole Daw (Beyersbergen)\ _ Saturday, January 3. 2015 Wingham Legion from 8p.m. - la.m. Lunch Provided completing the survey addressing skills gaps and other identified HR issues.
