Human capital management is becoming a critical issue for both the private and public sectors. I have written many blogs and presentations on human capital. The fix is not the difficult as it relates to the training and development of employees for current and future jobs. The old saying “Quality work demands quality people and product”

3. HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
For companies and government to be successful
means they need to look at hard at their policies
and programs to support development of their
employees.
Government needs to adjust their workplace model
to the digital economy
Government policies like hikes to small business tax
and/or elimination of tax credits are making Canada
less competitive when it comes to attracting brain
power.

MANAGEMEN
T
The role of government is defined the
educational programs required to support the
economy. Too many govts across Canada have
pushed programs that do not provide
meaningful employment
The world continues to change as such
governments need to address all their policies
that support economic growth
Immigration should not be based on quota, but
align where there voids in employment not filled
by educational programs
Canada needs to become more competitive
through reducing its reforming areas like
taxation, regulations, trade/fipa deals and hydro
rates.
All levels of government and the private sector
need to fixed the education systems to ensure
people have skills for today and tomorrow
It is not one policy that supports human capital
management but many policies
6. WHAT IS SKILL GAP?
The ‘skills gap’ is the phrase used to
the difference between the skills that
employers want, as shown by their job
advertisements, and those that are
from workers looking for a job.

7. SKILL GAP AND
PRODUCTIVITY
United States:
Roughly 200 million adults in the U.S. today make up the "digital workforce," where
productivity requires skills using a number of digital platforms.
Amazingly, only one out of ten workers from this group rate themselves as proficient with the
digital tools they use, according to video training company Grovo.
This skills gap costs the U.S economy a whopping $1.3 trillion every year, and comes at a time when
productivity growth is already down over historical periods. For example, the Wall Street
Journal reports that the average U.S. worker's output has risen just 1.3 percent per year during the
past five years, well below the 2.3 percent figure during the 20 years leading up to the economic
crisis.
The infographic below from Grovo outlines the cost of the digital skills gap and which skills are
essential for the 21st century workforce.
Canada
Canadian businesses, particularly small and medium sized ones, are falling behind in adopting new
technologies, mainly because they can’t find the people they would need to implement the changes,
the report says. And that could have negative consequences. “If Canada does not address the talent
and skills gap, it could cost the economy billions of dollars in lost productivity, tax revenues, and
gross domestic product,” the report states.
Out of 527,000 students who graduated in Canada in 2015, only 6 per cent — 29,000 — graduated
from an IT field, the report found. Canada would have to graduate around 43,000 IT students per
year to keep up with job growth.

This is according to a new Conference Board of Canada report, Workforce
Planning Practices in Canada, which says that more than half of Canadian
organizations are having difficulties finding workers with critical skills.
The report says that in 2005, it took an average of 40 days to fill vacancies
in the technical and skilled trades. This number has now jumped to 60
days. Likewise, the average cost to fill vacancies in the technical and
skilled trades was $3,000 in 2005, compared to $5,000 in 2016.

How Best to Support Current and Future Labor Markets through better Post-Secondary and Immigration Programs -
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-best-support-current-future-labor-markets-through-paul-young/?published=t
I have all the years written many blogs and presentation on the issues facing the labor market in Canada and around
the world. Many decisions by all levels of government have failed address areas like skills gaps or advance
manufacturing or development of natural resources in a sustainable way or tax reforms or effective urban planning
or supporting of remote communities or building of resilient supply chain or fair trade and investment deals with
countries around the world or affordable housing
My presentation talks how to develop policies as part of increasing quality of employment opportunities in your
local geographies.
The world needs to stop throwing money at symptoms related to labor market and start addressing root causes when
it comes to building a resilient labor market that inclusive for everyone.

https://openparliament.ca/debates/2017/9/2
6/michelle-rempel-2/. The response from the
government has been at best lukewarm. Here
is what the immigration minister said “The
member opposite must know that asylum
claims fluctuate on a yearly basis and
sometimes even monthly. The fact of the
matter is that our agencies were nimble
enough. We were able to put full capacity
within IRCC to process claims.
Yet the government thinks closing the
borders is not priority, but taxing small
business is in terms of policies is top priority,
right?

The BDC’s survey of 1,208

Labour Market
• Canadian economy is only creating 217K new jobs per year
• There are over 400K job vacancies
• The post-secondary graduates are 500K per year
• The government plans to bring in new immigrants of about
300K per year
What needs to be done
• Canada needs a strategy that better aligns both immigration and graduates
with skills need for today and tomorrow
• Canada also needs to refine is policies to encourage economic growth
• Since Liberals took office there are less people working in goods producing
sector as % total employment. Liberal policies have driven out over $100B
investment.
• Skill trades certification process needs to be reviewed. Ontario needs to
eliminate the skill trade agency.
• Canada has strain relations with many countries of the world due to Liberal
agenda. Canada depends on exports. Exports could be 25% higher if Canada
had better trade deals
• Immigration should not be based on quota, but align with gaps in
employment
• Private sector needs to be part of solution and not excluded when it comes
to supporting programs that reduce skill gaps

http://techportfolio.net/2017/05/closing-canadas-tech-skills-gap-teach-youth-to-code/
220,000 workers needed: That’s how vast Canada’s tech skills gap could
be by 2020, according to Canadian government and industry experts.
If that gap isn’t closed, many tech companies will be forced to look for
opportunities outside the country, Waveform CEO Kirk Simpson
recently told CBC News.
“If we can find the talent somewhere else, we might open a second
location in the U.S. market or in a European market,” he said. “And those
jobs will not go to Canadians.”

Issues
• Provinces have policies for apprenticeship that will require modification to support more applicants
• Universities would have to increase classroom space and equipment to support more enrollment in areas like
engineering, math, sciences, IT
• STDC already exist in terms of seed financing. The problem is more money for innovation is that many deals
require bare minimum of $5 to $10M so that would be like 60 deals a year
• There are already innovation funds that both companies and universities/college leverage
• Startup take time to move ideas from incubation to market. FYI – Canada had already been moving to
advance manufacturing, expert farming, clean technology, 3-D printing, Information technology.

But what comes through in the documents is that although
federal officials have grappled for years with how to limit
the disruption to workers’ lives in the transition to a more
digital economy, just what Canada might do is still a little
fuzzy.
This is also despite the fact the Liberals’ pre-election budget
put aside more than $1.7 billion over five years to create a
tax credit and pay for dedicated time off for workers to take
skills-training programs, starting next year.
The lack of detail isn’t surprising to Sean Hinton, chief
executive of SkyHive, a B.C.-based company that uses
artificial intelligence to identify just what skills workers need
for different jobs – which aren’t always what employers or
employees think they are.
Governments keep thinking in terms of what jobs will be
automated and which ones will be short of workers, which
creates a disconnect in crafting skills-training programs,
Hinton said.

39. 80% OF MANUFACTURES HAVE SKILLS GAP ISSUES
TORONTO — 80% of Canadian manufacturers surveyed in a new report are facing an immediate labour and skills shortage that was made worse by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
A Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters survey of 563 companies across 19 sectors released Dec. 1 found the need for skilled labourers has been
growing rapidly for years, but COVID-19 government relief, health concerns and family responsibilities are making the situation even more troublesome.
“Our skills gap that existed before the pandemic was just exacerbated by the pandemic and we need to make sure that everybody is working toward
getting that next generation of workers in the sector,” said Dennis Darby, president of the CME.
His organization, which represents more than 2,500 companies across the country, said 70% of manufacturers had a shortage of labour and skills in 2018,
up from 40% in 2016.
