Focus on Tourism
July’s Workforce Focus bulletin focuses on Tourism on a national level as well as within the District of Thunder Bay. Excerpt from this report: “The tourism industry is facing a potentially severe labour shortage over the next 15 years. The Baby Boomer generation, which makes up 30% of the labour force, is beginning to reach the age of retirement. This will create job opportunities across all sectors of the tourism industry. The occupations listed above are anticipated to be in high demand as labour shortages increase. While education varies among these occupations, the top 5 skills required to succeed include: strong oral communication, problem solving, computer use, money math and numerical estimation.”
