The District of Fort St. James is conducting an employer survey for the Fort St. James region.
The Study Area for this project includes the following areas: Fort St. James municipal boundary, Nak’azdli Whut’en reservation, and Electoral Area C (Fort St. James Rural).
Applications Management Consulting Ltd. has been contracted to conduct the employer survey on behalf of the District. The purpose of this survey is to collect pertinent, up-to-date, and precise labor market information from diverse businesses within the region, focusing on their employment practices, challenges, and needs.
Your participation is valuable, as the information gathered is crucial to planning and advocacy efforts and will help identify workforce needs and position the community to better respond to these needs. This survey will be used to develop workforce data and statistics for the region.
The benefits for employers include:
-
Improved access to the labour market, including for youth, mature workers, persons with disabilities, women, Indigenous Peoples and new immigrants.
-
Identification of skills inventory that can be transferred to fill existing and future employment needs.
- Reduction in overall operating costs through effective hiring and employment practices.
