The Elgin Middlesex Oxford Workforce Planning and Development Board continually seeks to enhance the labour market planning process in the community by gathering labour market information, identifying training needs and trends, promoting life-long learning, and building community partnerships to work on local solutions to relevant issues.
One of the ways they do this is by encouraging employer participation in experiential learning programs for high school aged youth; such as workplace tours, job shadowing, mentoring, cooperative education, school-work transitions, and the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program. Landscape Ontario members can connect to educators through the online community EmployerRegistry.ca supported by the Ministry of Education.
Thousands of students learn about careers in Science, Technology and Trades at SLOME an Interactive Exploration Day held annually in May. Employers and Association are invited to come out to inspire students. Participation at this event is no charge for exhibitors or students.
