Vancouver Island companies brace for labour shortage in forestry as baby boomers near retirement
Alberni Valley Times
Forestry urgently needs young people to join the industry, as Vancouver Island companies are bracing for an expected labour shortage when baby boomers retire in the coming years. The importance of attracting young people to fill upcoming vacancies was evident at the Nuu-chah-nulth Employment and Training Program Career Fair in the Alberni Athletic Hall Tuesday. The event was organized by the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council to connect job seekers with companies. Classes from the nearby Alberni District Secondary School and the Alternative Programs VAST Centre visited the career fair throughout the day.
