The face of Saskatchewan is changing and its hair is greying.
The Workplace Partners Panel (WPP) Saskatchewan Task Force would like to invite you to share your best thinking on Saskatchewan's aging workforce and the resulting skills-related challenges and opportunities for the region. You can do this by participating in the WPP's Online Dialogue.
The Saskatchewan WPP Online Dialogue can be accessed at: www.wppdialogue.ca.
What do YOU think?
Should retirement start at 70?
How do we keep our youth from leaving the province?
How do we more successfully engage First Nations and Métis in the province's workforce?
These are some of the key questions we would like you to answer. There are three ways for you to participate:
1. Complete our Skills Quiz! Test your knowledge on the skills challenges facing Saskatchewan.
2. Be the Decision Maker! Tell us how business and labour leaders should prioritize the key issues related to skills challenges in Saskatchewan.
3. Share Your Ideas! Contribute to our best thinking by sharing your solutions on what could be done to address skills shortages in Saskatchewan.
You can participate using one or all three of these methods, at your convenience. If you are unable to participate online, you can call 613.234.0505 to obtain a paper version of the materials.
The Workplace Partners Panel (WPP) is a national initiative created specifically to bring business and labour leaders together look at different labour market challenges facing Canada. The WPP Saskatchewan Task Force is comprised of senior labour and business leaders from the province.
