class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Canada\u2019s food and beverage processors are the link between farms and the sea and our tables. We transform Canada\u2019s agricultural and seafood commodities into a wide array of products for consumers or further processing. To put a finer point on it; almost every food or beverage product we consume is processed in some manner. This is a large, high value industry that touches every Canadian. It is also an industry at the crossroad to greatness.<\/p><div>This report is a call to action. The unprecedented upheaval brought on by the COVID-19 global pandemic will be remembered for a long time, of that there is no doubt. The question is will the food and beverage processing industry, and government decision makers, seize the opportunity this system-wide change presents. In the face of an uncertain future brought on by COVID-19, and pre-existing structural constraints on businesses, we must be optimists.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>In 2017, there was an enthusiastic call from the Advisory Council on Economic Growth \u201cto unleash the sector\u2019s full potential\u201d. The Agri-Food Table set even more ambitious growth targets calling for Canadian agricultural, agri-food and seafood exports to reach $85 billion by 2025, a 32% increase from 2017 levels.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>The recent international trade agreements &#8211; Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, Canadian-United StatesMexico Agreement &#8211; present obvious opportunity outside our borders, although there is significant opportunities for growth in Canada\u2019s domestic market as well. The Advisory Council noted Canada processes only half of its own agricultural output. Domestic market growth should be made easier by The Canadian Free Trade Agreement which was put into place in the summer of 2017, and focuses on eliminating barriers that restrict the movements of goods and services within Canada. These trade mechanisms clear a path to capture greater shares of domestic and international markets.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>If the sector is to achieve these ambitious targets, it would place Canada in an enviable position of truly \u201cfeeding the world\u201d. The domestic and international strategic advantage of doing so is obvious. Abroad, we would strengthen our place in the world, develop trade relations and participate with our allies in lifting other nations out of food poverty. At home, we would strengthen and build the industry by creating wealth and jobs, and Canada would grow by welcoming more newcomers. In fact, the Government of Canada announced late last year, that to make up for the shortfall in 2020 due to Covid-19, the country would welcome more than 1.2 million newcomers between 2021 and 2023, in addition to more than 400,000 new permanent residents every year from 2021 to 2023.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Still many ask, \u201cis there really that much opportunity?\u201d. The answer is, \u201cnever more so than now\u201d. The global demand for food is expected to rise by 70 % between 2009 and 2050, fueled by a growing population and an expanding middle class that will consume considerably more protein than is the case today. Many of these middle class consumers will want to know their food has been produced in a safe and environmentally sustainable way and will favour products from countries such as Canada where environmental, labour, and food safety and quality standards are globally-recognized.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Labour market anlaysis shows that the Canadian food and beverage processing industry directly employs over 280,000 people and accounts for almost 1 in 5 of all manufacturing jobs. These jobs are with the industry\u2019s 7,600 businesses located across the country. It is important to note that there are an additional 4,000 or more, non-employer businesses that are defined as establishments with no employees or an indeterminate number of employees. These establishments do not maintain an employee payroll, but may have a workforce which consists of contracted workers, family members or business owners. They also include employers who have not had employees in the previous 12 months. The analysis shows that it isn\u2019t accurate to simply add both employment types together, which suggests closer to 12,000 businesses in the country, but it does provide an indicator of the type of businesses that comprise the industry.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Overall, the Canadian food and beverage processing industry is made up of 11 sub-sectors, with meat product processing being the largest. Ontario, Quebec, and BC are home to threequarters of sector businesses. And, the sector is dominated by small and medium-sized businesses with 91% of businesses employing less than 100 people.<\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dc0089 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9dc0089\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/LMI-Overall-Report_FPSC_04_29_21-1-1_pdf.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2700\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/LMI-Overall-Report_FPSC_04_29_21-1-1_pdf.png 475w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/LMI-Overall-Report_FPSC_04_29_21-1-1_pdf-221x300.webp 221w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce0e463 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ce0e463\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>As big as our sector is today, there is tremendous potential for it to become much bigger as the world\u2019s demand for food more than doubles by 2050 and consumers want new and innovative products.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><strong>So, what\u2019s standing in our way?<\/strong><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>We have well-defined consumer demand and modeling shows it is increasing.

That may not seem like much, but when you aggregate it over the entire sector, losses from job vacancies could total up to an estimated $8.5M in net revenue per day. If this is not addressed the $8.5M per day becomes $3.1B annually.<\/p><p>These figures underscore that this is not a human resource issue alone, it\u2019s actually the most critical business challenge for the industry. As this report reveals, labour availability is the top overall business challenge, ahead of coping with regulations, implementing technology and meeting customer preference.<\/p><p>7 in 10 employers report facing recruitment and retention challenges. Most of these employers describe the problem as persistent and on-going. The evidence also suggests that recruitment and retention problems have worsened over the past year.<\/p><p>How then can the industry \u201cget its house in order\u201d and address the most critical challenges employers face? Indeed, that is the purpose of this report. To outline the conditions that exist and deliver actionable recommendations for employers and governments.<\/p><p>This report shines a light on the challenges we face in recruiting, skills training and retaining qualified workers. It discusses the impact of integrating Industry 4.0 production processes and the effect it could have on reducing the hiring burden. We also explore the challenges we have to competitiveness in the industry.<\/p><p>We have included a detailed analysis of sector trends such as evolving consumer preferences, consolidating regulatory frameworks, cannabis edibles and infused beverages, and climate change that employers and governments alike should appreciate. The report also explores perceptions of the industry and impact on preferences.<\/p><p>To give employers and other stakeholders a sense of the overall industry dynamic, this report profiles jobs, how individuals are paid, including comparisons with other manufacturing sectors, and unionization across the sectors.<\/p><p>We take a critical look inside food and beverage processor businesses \u2013 from business priorities to human resources. With labour constraints and the need for appropriately skilled people, this report also provides guidance to employers on data-driven best practices. Specifically, we look at human resource challenges, access to immigration programs, employer recruitment and retention strategies, methods of outreach and communications, and employee benefits and other incentives.<\/p><p>There is also a specific analysis of studies that assess five generations in the workplace and identify underrepresented groups in the industry who are most interested in employment. The analysis is rounded out with a comprehensive review on building a skills foundation to meet the needs of the sector.<\/p><p>This report calls on employers, industry associations, government, and educational and research institutions to be nimble and take heed of the valuable lessons we have learned so far in this global pandemic. The research also demonstrates that with a willingness to explore new opportunities and an enthusiasm to embrace change, we can successfully reach the next great chapter of our industry.

We also highlight opportunities for domestic and international growth, as well as discuss the labour market implications of sector growth.<\/p><p>Overall, we see that the industry is a major contributor to the Canadian economy. It also has significant growth potential, especially when compared to other sectors of manufacturing. The ambitious targets set for the industry reflect its potential. We also note that the COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the strategic importance of food and beverage processors, and of the food supply chain more broadly.<\/p><p>However, it is critical to note that optimal industry growth can only happen with the right conditions. The last part of this chapter highlights the actions proposed by the Agri-Food Table for strengthening the Canadian agri-food sector.<\/p><p>The role of trade agreements, including interprovincial

This sub-sector\u00a0represents over 40% of all the industry\u2019s indeterminate\u00a0businesses and covers the widest range of products of any\u00a0sub-sector, it resembles the kitchen drawer with all of the odds\u00a0and ends. This is further complicated by the fact many of the\u00a0processors also manufacture products in one of the other 10 food<br \/>and beverage processing sub-sectors. This presents a challenge\u00a0in understanding and accurately partitioning units of analyses\u00a0such as facilities or employees according to sub-sectors given the\u00a0potential overlapping sub-sectors as currently defined within the\u00a0other foods category. Understanding the structure of the Other Food\u00a0Manufacturing sub-sector in detail will contribute to improved\u00a0outcomes and labour market information for the industry. It will\u00a0limit the risk associated with the potential overlap such as double\u00a0counting and understanding skills and HR requirements in having\u00a0employees work across multiple sub-sectors.<\/p><p>Within Other Food Manufacturing there is a catch all subcategory\u00a0called All Other Food Manufacturing, which is where the majority\u00a0of new products get placed. As such, it is difficult to get an idea of\u00a0the real drivers of growth within the sector as there is no effective<br \/>way to separate out economic and labour information. There are\u00a0five subcategories within Other Food Manufacturing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82b671c

Immediate, large shifts in consumer demand for\u00a0food and beverage products have focused on grocery retailers and away from restaurants and hospitality outlets. This has required rapid adjustments: sudden changes in packaging (e.g., wholesale to retail types of packaging in dairy), types of products in demand at the retail level (e.g., yeast, flour), and \u201cpanic buying\u201d of certain food items. At the same time, significant declines in customer orders have occurred in many sub-sectors as the restaurant, tourism and hospitality industries have largely shut down. In response, the industry has had to reconfigure workplaces to protect the health of employees, increase production in some areas and shift production in others. It is also important to appreciate that the demands placed upon this industry are unique in many ways, particularly given that businesses are operating as an \u201cessential service\u201d to maintain the food supply chain for Canada and the world.<\/p><p>Following is an analysis of immediate and short-term impacts that COVID-19 is having on the industry.

Declines in cash flows were also reported by a majority\u00a0of beverage manufacturers and seafood processors.<\/p><p>The survey also found that 43% of businesses reported a decline\u00a0in the number of workers available, thus exacerbating what had\u00a0already been a tight labour market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e91e1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e91e1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs we discussed earlier, both meat processing and Atlantic seafood processing rely considerably on temporary foreign workers to fill positions where there are shortages of Canadians with the proper skills and willingness to work in processing plants. While the meat processing sector tends to hire temporary foreign workers year-round, the Atlantic seafood processing sector is largely seasonal with many of the positions starting in April-May and running through until mid-autumn or later. As a result, the closure of international and provincial borders, requirements for quarantine, and challenges with international travel due to COVID-19 were occurring at the same time as many of the temporary seasonal foreign workers assisting with\u00a0Atlantic seafood processing were planning to arrive in Canada.<sup>33<\/sup> It is not surprising\u00a0then, that the survey found that Atlantic Canada experienced the most significant\u00a0decline in the number of available workers, including 70% of companies in the\u00a0seafood sector experiencing a decline in available workers.\n\nAll of this impacted production inputs as well. The survey found that 39% reported\na decline in the availability of raw materials or supplies they need. In some cases, this\nmay be packaging materials (e.g., flour mills needing smaller packages for grocery\nretail), but in other cases, it may be getting adequate first level processed product\n(e.g., ground beef, chicken breasts) for secondary levels of processing, or relying on\nvarious types of imported products (e.g., fruit not grown in Canada).\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6f3b6f elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"f6f3b6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"Atlantic Canada experienced the most significant decline in the number of available workers.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae06a8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ae06a8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d6f65d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d6f65d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Given that close to 6 in 10 surveyed companies have experienced a decline in orders, it is not surprising to see that fully half of respondents (51%) reported that production volumes had declined, with the average declined estimated to have been a staggering 49% since the outbreak of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

This includes an overall trend to add healthy fats in foods&nbsp;and reduced use of sugar and simple carbohydrates. There is&nbsp;also a move toward low-sodium foods and those that address<br>special dietary requirements, such as gluten-free, vegetarian&nbsp;and vegan products. Consumers are also interested in high-protein&nbsp;and alternative-protein products, new or uncommon flavours, and&nbsp;artisanal and organic products.<\/p>\n<p>Younger Canadians, Generation Z and Millennials, are more likely&nbsp;than previous generations to choose their food based on dietary&nbsp;sensitivities and personal values, such as ethically sourced food&nbsp;products, vegetarian and vegan preferences, and sustainable&nbsp;production methods.

experienced very strong employment\u00a0growth in 2017, 2018, and 2019 after almost a decade of stagnation, with the largest\u00a0employment gains in the Beverage Manufacturing sub-sector. Despite the pandemic,\u00a02020 employment was 98% of 2019 and still above the 2018 level. This section also\u00a0includes a discussion on the sector\u2019s relatively&#8230;. of the sector\u2019s relatively high job vacancy\u00a0rate and the financial impact that unfilled positions are having. Essentially, a high volume\u00a0of vacancies restrict output, leading to lost revenues for businesses.\u00a0<\/p><p>Persistent job vacancies, along with other labour market challenges (e.g., public perceptions\u00a0of work in the food and beverage processing sector), have obvious implications for the\u00a0sector\u2019s ability to reach some of the ambitious targets set for it by the Agri-Food Table\u00a0(e.g., $85 billion in export sales by 2025). Some of these challenges are highlighted below.\u00a0<\/p><p>Turning to the future, this section highlights forecasted hiring needs based on two\u00a0different growth scenarios and ends with a

Implementing technology and meeting customer preference round out the top four priorities for employers. In addition to labour shortages, close to half of companies face turnover and retention challenges. According to a 2018 labour market survey, one of the factors making it more difficult for the food and beverage processing sector to find new workers, is a relatively low awareness of the industry among the general public. Raising awareness has proven to be a significant challenge. The 2020 survey found that employers were split on the best way to promote the sector to the public. That said, the previous 2018 survey also showed that once people learned about the industry, they were more receptive to working in it.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-size );\">This section includes a discussion of strategies that employers have used to cope with labour shortages and retention challenges. For example, most say they have made a \u201cconcerted\u201d effort to target young people and women. Online postings (e.g., LinkedIn) is the most used recruitment method; the survey also found that 16% of employers use the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Crucially, this section also discusses approaches to skills development from both the employer and worker perspectives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">As discussed earlier in this report, FPSC\u2019s 2018 labour force survey suggests that recent immigrants and Indigenous Peoples, and to a lesser extent youth and those with a historically tenuous attachment to the labour force, represent promising recruitment targets for the industry. Related to this, FPSC\u2019s 2020 survey of labour participants found that health and wellness options (e.g., free fresh foods, healthy drinks and snacks, comfortable and wellequipped lunch and break rooms, and onsite fitness facilities) are very attractive to young people and women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-304d11b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"304d11b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lessons from Previous Studies<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4b6c71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4b6c71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Prior to COVID-19, ongoing labour shortages in parts of Canada were expected to cause the food and beverage processing industry to continue its struggle to find workers.<sup>59<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-size );\">A 2018 in-depth sub-sector labour market analysis for the Seafood Product Preparation and Packaging conducted by FPSC found that, for example, acute labour shortages would worsen if nothing was done to change the situation.<\/span><sup style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">60<\/sup><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-size );\"> Specifically, the report estimated the number of unfilled vacancies at 1,800 in 2017 and projected that an additional 7,500 workers would be needed by 2030, simply to keep up with the attrition of retirement.<\/span><sup style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">61<\/sup><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-size );\">FPSC released another detailed labour market information study in 2018, this one examined Canada\u2019s Meat Product Manufacturing sub-sector, where there are roughly 1,600 businesses employing approximately 58,000 people (in 2017<\/span><sup style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">62<\/sup><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-size );\">).

Use of this program has been more prevalent\u00a0among large processors (e.g., meat processing) and in Atlantic Canada.<\/p><p>The sub-sector labour market analysis FPSC conducted in 2018 (Seafood\u00a0Product Preparation and Packaging Meat Product Manufacturing) identified\u00a0various challenges in accessing the supply of recent immigrants, including the\u00a0fact that many recent immigrants and refugees choose large urban areas for their\u00a0relocation to Canada. For rural regions, relocation requires extensive collaboration\u00a0with the community to ensure that there are sufficient supports in place and\u00a0settlement services that can be accessed. For seasonal operators (e.g., Atlantic\u00a0processors) attracting permanent residents is very difficult. Adding to these\u00a0issues, is the more fundamental problem that the immigration process seems to<br \/>prioritize education levels rather than the skills the industry needs, resulting in\u00a0a skills mismatch.

They are more self-sufficient and flexible (e.g., more\u00a0open to part-time work). They require less feedback and are fine\u00a0with learning new things on their own. They value honesty above\u00a0all. They strive for work-life balance but are not as attracted by\u00a0corporate health and wellness policies and programs.<\/p><p>Youngest workers, labour market entrants and women look at the\u00a0world of work through a wider lens and have higher expectations\u00a0about what a job should provide them, beyond a pay cheque. They\u00a0want to make friends, have fun at work and hope to have a supervisor<br \/>who is friendly. Like older workers, they want to be proud of where\u00a0they work and what they do, but they are also keen to see how their\u00a0work, and the organization, contributes to the greater good. A sense\u00a0of belonging is important to them. They want more feedback about<br \/>how they are doing and need more structure. They are also very\u00a0attracted to health and wellness policies and programs.<\/p><p>As Generation Z ages into Young Millennials, advancement\u00a0becomes more important. They hope to see a path forward and\u00a0are particularly keen to learn new things.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd1ec42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dd1ec42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Five Generations at a Glance<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6e23d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b6e23d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/five-generations-at-a-glance-1024x523.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2919\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/five-generations-at-a-glance-1024x523.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/five-generations-at-a-glance-300x153.webp 300w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/five-generations-at-a-glance-768x392.webp 768w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/five-generations-at-a-glance.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2eb7f15 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"2eb7f15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"Only 1 in 4 Canadians said they are familiar with the food and beverage processing industry and only 1 in 6 said they would apply for a job if it was located near them.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c08b580 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"c08b580\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c14a0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0c14a0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Our Sector is Viewed: Addressing the Perceptions<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bf53e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2bf53e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the factors making it more difficult for our sector to find new workers is a relatively low awareness of the industry among everyday Canadians.

FPSC\u2019s&nbsp;survey of current and future labour market participants gathered feedback on a&nbsp;range of learning approaches, from classroom instruction to on-the-job training&nbsp;with a mentor.<\/p>\n<p>Among formal learning options, 1) no approach is widely preferred, and 2) the two&nbsp;most popular ones are quite different from each other. A small plurality (34%) prefer&nbsp;to learn in a classroom setting onsite. The second most popular approach is online&nbsp;learning with no instructor (26%).<\/p>\n<p>It is reasonable to hypothesize that younger workers would prefer self-guided online<br>learning, while older ones would opt for a classroom setting. In fact, the opposite is&nbsp;true. Generation Z is much more likely than any other segment to prefer learning&nbsp;onsite in a classroom (i.e., 50% select this approach compared to only 17% who&nbsp;would rather learn on their own, online). Boomers, in contrast, are more likely&nbsp;to prefer self-guided online learning to an onsite classroom setting (30% and&nbsp;26% respectively).<\/p>\n<p>It may be that since many Generation Z are either full-time or part-time students&nbsp;or recent graduates, learning in a classroom with an instructor or teacher is what&nbsp;they are most recently familiar with, and as a result more comfortable with. It should&nbsp;be noted that the impact of COVID-19 and more remote learning for secondary&nbsp;students and post-secondary students may change this over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The study also examined learning and career development from a different angle, by asking respondents to rate the appeal of mentoring, cross-training, having a&nbsp; career&nbsp;development plan and learning new technology. The results show that all of these&nbsp;have significant appeal across generations.<\/p>\n<p>The two most appealing, however, are the opportunity to learn different jobs within&nbsp;the organization (appealing to 70%) and the opportunity to work with new technology&nbsp;(69%). It is interesting to note that the latter holds as much appeal to older workers as it&nbsp;does to younger ones. The opportunity to learn different jobs, however, is significantly&nbsp;more appealing to Generation Z (82%). The opportunity to mentor and coach others&nbsp;is appealing to 57% of the labour market, with no variation by age.&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45308b6 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"45308b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"The opportunity to learn different jobs is significantly more appealing to Generation Z.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee30cf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ee30cf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8aa2843 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8aa2843\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u201cThe opportunity to try different jobs within the organization\u201d (% Appealing)<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48c9d20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"48c9d20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"758\" height=\"651\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/opportunity-to-try-different-jobs-within-the-org.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2926\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/opportunity-to-try-different-jobs-within-the-org.jpg 758w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/opportunity-to-try-different-jobs-within-the-org-300x258.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bb5dbd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1bb5dbd\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c55c2de elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c55c2de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Leveraging Canada\u2019s Leadership in Education<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ffcfe0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ffcfe0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The vast diversity of industry occupations is reflected in Canada\u2019s educational landscape.<\/strong> Training opportunities range from workshops and courses to college and university programs.

While it is not a career path per se, it does provide an overview of skills needed as an individual progresses through his or her career.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>The LRF is not<\/strong> tied to typical levels such as certification, diploma and degree programs, but organizes the nationally-validated food industry competencies into a logical structure with a training focus. <strong>The LRF is also<\/strong> the basis of FPSC\u2019s accreditation program that institutions, private trainers and employers will access to have their programs vetted against national competency standards and the associated recognition level. If programs meet the requirements, the training agency will be able to issue nationally-recognized credentials to graduates of the program. This may require institutions to update or realign their courses with the LRF.\u00a0<\/p><p>An accreditation program has several benefits. An educational institution, private trainer or employer will be able to market their program(s) as being nationally- recognized and can offer their graduates a nationallyrecognized credential upon completion of their program. Graduates will possess a credential that will be recognized across the country, increasing mobility, and providing clear learning paths for their careers in the food and beverage processing sector.\u00a0<\/p><p>Foreign credential recognition may also be supported. By comparing an individual\u2019s existing qualifications (e.g., credentials, diplomas) and their competencies\/learning outcomes to the LRF, individuals with foreign credentials may be able to have their skills benchmarked, or even acquire a Canadian credential, through a prior learning recognition process or by taking an accredited Canadian program.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>The LRF is<\/strong> already proving a valuable learning tool for individuals working in, or transferring into, the food and beverage manufacturing.

in Canada\u2019s food and beverage<br \/>processing industry found that Canadian processors trail their counterparts in the\u00a0United States when it comes to investing in technology. This includes not only the use of\u00a0computers and automation but also the significant transformation that will come through\u00a0the adoption of \u201cIndustry 4.0,\u201d which adds smart and autonomous systems that use data\u00a0and machine learning.\u00a0<\/p><p>Increasing automation in the food and beverage processing industry requires considerable\u00a0capital outlays which can be difficult for an industry facing low-profit margins and high\u00a0regulatory and administrative costs. However, research shows that Industry 4.0 integration\u00a0could boost labour productivity by as much as 0.8% annually. That may not sound like\u00a0much, but this research shows that complete Industry 4.0 integration of the food and\u00a0beverage processing industry over the next five years could reduce estimated

Of the 740\u00a0total responses, 57% occurred in May, compared<br \/>to 16% in February, 18% in March and 10% in April.\u00a0Respondents were asked to answer all questions\u00a0based on the last full calendar year of their business\u00a0(i.e. 2019).
