BC Wood is leading a project, funded through the BC Sector Labour Market Partnership Program, to investigate the labour market challenges facing BC’s value-added wood products sector. The labour market information (LMI) gathered through this project will help industry and employers understand and respond to changing labour market demands. Using the information, Industry and employers can make informed plans, choices, and decisions for a variety of purposes, including business investment decision-making, career planning and preparation, education and training offerings, job search opportunities, hiring, and public or private workforce investments.

How Can You Help?

To meet the research objectives, it is critical that the project is informed by direct and broad-based input from Industry. To ensure information gathered is reflective of industry’s experience, BC Wood will be calling on employers to respond to a short 10-minute on-line survey. An on-line employee survey will also be available for you to pass on to your workers that will gather information to get a snapshot of their experience. *Expect the survey to arrive in your in-box mid-March 2018.
