Industry innovators in ‘constant battle’ for talent and fear competition will get fiercer
“It’s a disruptive technology, it’s new, it’s never been done before, so sourcing people that have experience that’s adjacent or applicable to our battery technology is more difficult to find,” Ms. Strickler explains. “We have eight PhDs on our team, so it’s a very specialized group of individuals, and finding people with that depth of knowledge is certainly a huge challenge within this space.”
“We know our people receive calls from other battery manufacturers in our specific technology space that are looking to recruit,” Ms. Strickler says. “We’re pro-actively doing these things around training up, and going out to market and trying to get ahead of it so we don’t run into challenges around hiring.”
“Talking to colleagues in this space, I think there could very well be challenges. We’ve set significant targets , but a lot of countries have, and so the key for me will be continuing to foster interest in the industry, especially for people coming out of school and growing up in the industry, so that we can meet those targets.”
“Nearly every province in the country still had significant work to do when it came to developing a dedicated work force strategy to support clean economic objectives,” Mr. Pivnick says. “Government policy – especially from provinces – will have a big impact on whether our work force is positioned as a key competitive advantage benefiting workers across the country, or a barrier to new investments.
