Description
In 2017, the Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce, along with The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and Government of Alberta, Ministry of Labour came together to identify current and future labour demand in Fort McMurray. The project was called the Fort McMurray Post-Fire Labour Market Study. The Phase 1: Labour Market Study yielded valuable labour market data. In 2018 the data is being formulated into a wide scoping strategy and communication/promotional messaging & tools. This is Phase 2 of the project: Labour Market Strategy and Communications Tools.
One of the core communications deliverables in Phase 2 are Worker Profile Videos and a new labour website. We are developing 11 videos featuring local workers sharing their stories about living and working in Fort McMurray. They will be featured on a new labour website under development called www.liveymm.com. The website will also feature a variety of other informational tools for employers looking to attract new labour, and for workers seeking information about Fort McMurray.
Mark Baxter from Outlook Market Research & Consulting will be showing us some of the outputs from this exciting project.
This will also be our election for the Chamber of Commerce board of directors.
