.BuildForceCan is forecasting that Alberta’s construction sector is poised for a near-term peak.
Meanwhile, in Canada’s three territories, workforce conditions could change in the medium term as final investment decisions are made on major mining projects. The development of the mining sector in Canada’s territories will require key construction trades and occupations that are common to engineering and industrial work, and which are in high demand in other industries and provinces.
“The challenge for Alberta’s construction and maintenance sector will be developing a broad-enough labour force in the short term to match employment gains,” said Bill Ferreira, executive director of BuildForce Canada. “Many trades are facing recruiting challenges at the moment. The province’s younger demographics should help to close much of that gap, with an estimated 38,000 new workers under the age of 30 projected to enter the labour force from the local population.
Completions were also trending down across the same period, albeit at a slower pace. Combined, these trends are likely to reduce the near-term numbers of new certified workers. The labour requirements for projects in the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut add to the complexity of demand requirements for construction trades and occupations across Canada, stated BuildForce.
