Sectors have a diverse set of challenges around recruitment and retention of workers. There may be unemployed people in the vicinity of the employer, but perhaps they don't have the right skills or perhaps they're not living in the same location. There are issues of mobility, retention, and skills and training. Those are some of the complexities that vary from employer to employer. Some are in small, remote communities where there are significant demographic challenges and those recruitment challenges are particularly acute. That's why, rather than trying a one-size-fits-all approach, we're doing a review of each of these individual industry sectors to get a better sense of the dynamic and maximize their potential to recruit every Canadian possible, so that the TFW program is there to deal with residual demand.
