Get to know Electricity Human Resources Canada

The electricity industry is rapidly changing. The emergence of new technology, electrification of sectors of the economy that have not previously been electric, and decarbonization more generally are resulting in a need to attract skilled people to the industry in numbers that the sector has not previously needed to. Canada is embarking on a nation-building exercise unlike any in recent history – and Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC) is on the front line of labour market intelligence and workforce planning. EHRC conducts comprehensive labour market intelligence (LMI) to understand where there are emerging employment gaps in the industry, and emerging new roles. That data is then translated to actionable programs to encourage more diverse hiring and retention, appealing to more youth audiences and ensuring succession planning, change management and knowledge transfer is occurring grounded in best-practices across the industry. If it involves working with people in the sector – EHRC is there.
