CSC Background: • Construction represents 12% of Canada’s economy • 1 in 17 jobs is construction related • There are almost one million workers in many diverse trades and professions • 128,000 contractors are involved in construction in Canada The Construction Sector Council (CSC) is a national organization committed to the development of a highly skilled workforce – one that will support the current and future needs of the construction industry in Canada. Created in April 2001, and financed by both government and industry, the CSC is a partnership between labour and business. Today, the CSC represents a broad base of expertise; the Board of Directors speaks for a variety of interests within the construction industry, both union and non–union. Board members are nominated by the construction sector they represent –– currently more than 40 national and provincial construction organizations. With the help of partners in labour, business, education and government the Construction Sector Council (CSC) has identified critical human resources challenges in the construction industry, including the need to: • accurately forecast labour demand and supply • increase the mobility of workers from province to province • make the most of new technologies • cope with an aging workforce. The CSC is now working with its partners to find common solutions and approaches and has identified four key priorities: • Labour Market Information • Technology at Work • Career Awareness Programs • Standards and Skills Development Standards and skills development are at the core of CSC’s mandate to identify and address the current and future human resources needs of the Canadian construction industry. The CSC’s work in these areas will help create new opportunities for long-term sustainable employment and continuing job creation. For more information visit www.csc-ca.org 30
