The Saskatchewan Labour Market Strategy Outlines the Roadmap to Build the Workforce Saskatchewan Needs to Support its Growing Economy

Today, Premier Scott Moe launched Building the Workforce for a Growing Economy: the Saskatchewan Labour Market Strategy, which outlines how the province will ensure Saskatchewan people benefit from the jobs our economy is creating, and that Saskatchewan employers have access to the workforce needed to succeed.
The Labour Market Strategy Focuses on three main pillars:

Preparing Saskatchewan People for Jobs
Recognizing Skills in Saskatchewan
International Recruitment
Through these pillars, the Strategy outlines how the province is preparing people for both current and emerging jobs in Saskatchewan, and aligning training opportunities in post-secondary institutions to the needs of industry. This ensures employers have the steady supply of the skilled labour employees they need, while also providing job seekers the opportunity to train for in-demand and available jobs. The Strategy also includes targeted programing designed to increase Indigenous engagement in the workforce, and increase opportunities for persons with disabilities to find employment.

Additionally, the Strategy ensures newcomers to Saskatchewan can work in the field in which they trained. Saskatchewan is taking steps to remove red tape to more efficiently recognize credentials obtained outside of the province, and will provide one-on-one support to individuals who need help navigating the credential recognition process for their occupation.

Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Provincial News Bulletin from the province of Alberta. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.

As the province continues to grow, Alberta's government is investing in new schools and student spaces to meet that growth and provide the learning spaces students need for success. If passed, Budget 2024 would advance 43 priority school projects, including 28 new schools, 10 replacement schools and five modernizations. When complete, these projects will create about 35,000 new and modernized spaces for Alberta students to learn, grow, and meet their full potential.

With an additional 43 projects included in this year's budget, the government is funding a total of 98 school projects in various stages across the province.

As part of the $2.1 billion three-year capital investment, $103 million over three years will be used to supply modular classrooms to quickly increase classroom spaces in schools facing significant capacity challenges. Collegiate schools and public charter schools will be supported by a commitment of $123 million over three years, as Alberta's government continues to expand career education and support a full range of school choices for students and families.

The recent announcement holds crucial implications for Teachers and Administrators contemplating a move to Alberta. By providing insights into the existing opportunities, it equips Teachers and Administrators with the necessary information to adapt their immigration strategies in anticipation of the sector's evolving demands.
