The research we undertake provides
the springboard to discuss and prioritize
labour market issues, trends, and opportunities
unique to Sarnia Lambton.
We then act on these collaborative discussions, in partnership with local stakeholders, to resolve specific issues and meet identified needs. In addition to undertaking research and publishing reports on our findings, we organize and host a number of events related to workforce development throughout the year.
We currently take part in the following committees:
- Business and Economic Taskforce
- Celebration of Youth
- Collective Leadership Employment Services
- ECE Taskforce
- Famous 5 Sarnia Lambton Chapter
- Immigration Taskforce
- Lambton Wellness at Work
- Lambton Federation of Agriculture
