The following statement was given today in the House of Assembly by the Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills:
Job Vacancy Report Now Available on Provincial Government Website
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform residents and businesses throughout Newfoundland and Labrador about the release of the Job Vacancy Report.
This report is a comprehensive information resource that can be used by employers, education and training institutions, students and job seekers to help clearly identify job opportunity trends in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Job Vacancy Report was compiled by my department�s Labour Market Information team. It is now available on the Provincial Government website and I encourage everyone to visit the site to view the report.
With a detailed analysis of more than 38,000 job advertisements recorded during the last calendar year, highlights of the report include job vacancy locations, post-secondary training requirements, key industries and in-demand occupations.
Mr. Speaker, our province has at its fingertips a homegrown highly-skilled workforce and accomplished graduates ready to participate in and contribute to their communities and our economy. Current up-to-date information on labour market trends, the kind of information available in the Job Vacancy Report, informs the work of my department on employment supports and services available to the people of the province and post-secondary programming. Skilled workers and graduates can use this information to help make informed long-term career and education related decisions. Employers and businesses can also use the information in the report to assist with human resources and succession planning.
Mr. Speaker, opportunities are available in our province�s many industries, from services to resources. By matching people to jobs and employers to people, we will encourage individuals to study, work and raise their families in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Thank you.
