On behalf of BC Chamber of Commerce:
We all know that British Columbia’s workforce challenges are top of mind for most employers and a roadblock to growth, investment and success. We need solutions … urgently!
With that in mind, I’m excited to report that on February 6, the BC Chamber of Commerce launched a new two-phase study – Addressing the Labour Market Gap– that will (a) seek to understand the disconnect between employers and job seekers (b) identify appropriate solutions.
Funded by the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, the work will be undertaken in two phases through to January 2024:
- Phase 1 kicks off with the launch of the unique “Addressing the Labour Market Gap” survey that will seek to understand the needs of both employers andjob seekers.
- Phase 2 will comprise community engagement activities in each of the seven economic regions of the province to identify appropriate solutions to the data findings.
The survey will run from February 7-24, 2023, at 5.00pm PT.
We’d appreciate your help to circulate the survey far and wide to employers of all sizes, from all sectors and regions of BC!

Thank you for your support and ongoing partnership as we take steps to unlock BC’s potential by connecting people with people.
