Canada needs a net-zero workforce to reach a net-zero future via NatObserver
Industries like manufacturing, construction, transportation and low-greenhouse gas emissions energy , see job growth across all paths. Meanwhile, both fossil fuel and resource sectors decline across all pathways.
Non-technical skills like critical thinking, complex problem-solving and judgment and decision-making are increasingly essential across all industries in all paths and are critical to driving innovation and adoption of new processes. Another key finding is that no net-zero future requires building a clean economy workforce from scratch. Today’s workforce already has the foundation for future skills. The skills of today’s tradesperson are not likely to be completely transformed .
Uncertainty about the future need not lead decision-makers to fail to act at all in addressing the skills challenge. When building Canada’s net-zero future, embracing uncertainty can help develop skilled workforce policies that serve everyone in the country.
