While shifts in the marketplace, technological advancements and legislative developments are inevitable, there are opportunities for industry to work collaboratively with post-secondary institutions to coordinate the supply of skilled workers.
OSCA will utilize the annual CAPP production forecasts to develop employment and population forecasts for the Athabasca oil sands area. This information will be jointly developed and shared with the municipalities and provincial government.
Through timely dialogue and the collection of workforce data, we gain a clearer picture of arising issues and identifying realistic growth targets for the future.
