The Skills Algorithm: Digital Skills Demand Across Canada’s Labour Market (The Dais)

This report offers insights into how our skill requirements have shifted throughout and beyond the pandemic, finding that the most in-demand digital skills continue to be for general workforce tasks – low-intensity digital skills that are relevant regardless of sector or industry. It also shows that employers are still seeking hybrid (digital and non-digital) skills.

B.C.’s Labour Market Outlook, 2023 Edition (WorkBC)

Among the findings from this report:

  • Between 2023 and 2033, B.C. is expected to have about one million job openings
  • About 65% of future job openings will be to replace workers leaving the labour force, mostly from retirements
  • Nearly 75% of jobs will require workers to have post-secondary education or training
The Leaky Bucket: A Study of Immigrant Retention Trends in Canada (Conference Board of Canada)

This report examines the following questions: Is onward migration – immigrants leaving Canada – increasing among more recent cohorts of immigrants? And if so, what are their reasons for leaving? And what is the key to retaining immigrants to Canada?

Education Policy Outlook 2023: Empowering All Learners to Go Green (OECD)

This report explores how education systems can: 1) translate learners’ awareness into environmental action; 2) provide learners with experiences to shape the green economy; and 3) position education as a strategic sector for the green transition.

2023 Global Severance Research (Randstad)

Among the findings of this report, based on a survey of more than 400 HR and procurement professionals:

  • 96% of organizations surveyed have taken some kind of downsizing action over the last 12 months, and 92% anticipate taking further action in the next 12 months
    80% of respondents rated their handling of downsizing as excellent or very good, but that view is not shared by employees
