2018_11_001 - Demographics & Diversity: Portrait of Ontario's Unionized Construction Industry

This request for proposal (RFP) invites consultants, consulting firms or teams of researchers with expertise in collecting and analyzing workforce demographic data to submit proposals to the Ontario Construction Secretariat (OCS). The OCS wishes to develop a trade-by-trade snapshot of the current demographic profile of workers in Ontario’s construction industry broadly and specifically, those workers engaged with the unionized sector as the first step in a broader workforce development initiative that will ensure Ontario’s unionized construction industry continues to attract, train and retain a dynamic and highly skilled workforce. Creating diverse and inclusive work places is critical to the development of a long-term workforce development strategy that attracts and retains workers to this vibrant industry.
