When Food Processing Skills Canada\u2019s labour market information report, At the Crossroad to Greatness<\/em>, was released in 2021 it contained a series of recommendations. The report team \u2014 which included subject matter experts, economists, statisticians and researchers \u2014 recognized that the information contained within the report was incredibly valuable, not only to understanding the immediate situation for Canada\u2019s food and beverage manufacturing industry, but also as a data-driven guide to future opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Crossroad to Greatness concludes with a final chapter providing a series of recommendations to be driven by industry and its partners. Recovering from the COVID-19 global pandemic and solving the critical labour crisis starts now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge of the food and beverage processing industry is very low with just under half of Canadians with little or no awareness of the industry (49%). Only 31% have a positive impression of the jobs offered and barely one in six would apply for one of those jobs if it was available near them. For the meat and seafood processing sub-sectors, the results are even lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the research indicates that four target audiences are promising sources of labour: youth, people with a history of tenuous attachment to the labour market,recent immigrants, and Indigenous Peoples, with the most potential lying within the latter two segments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
