2004/2008 Labour Market Information Comparative Analysis Report
Labour market information studies were undertaken for Canada's electricity sector in 2004 and 2008. To help human resource planners better understand the issues, challenges and opportunities in the sector, the ESC conducted a comparative analysis of both studies. Today, that analysis is helping planners develop a forward-looking human resource strategy for the Canadian electricity industry.

Labour Market Transition Project Reports
The Electricity Sector Council partnered with other sector councils to identify pools of skilled workers presently employed in declining sectors and assess the barriers to hiring employees from other sectors. ESC headed the research into the opportunities, challenges and feasibility of easing short- and medium-term labour demands in the electricity sector by engaging workers from sectors that have a surplus labour supply.
The project involved comparing occupations across sectors, isolating key transferable skills, naming career-training and development resources, analyzing current recruitment practices, and recommending ways to ease workers' transitions from one sector to another. Read the final reports here.
