Partnerships

EMOLTB will be working on several partnerships for 2010 - 2011

If you wish to get involved in any of these partnerships please email info@localboard.on.ca or call 519-672-3499


Employability Skills

Develop supports for teachers/instructors to share the fundamental employability skills that prepare students finishing high school, college or university to present themselves as viable job candidates. Skills to be addressed include the soft skills necessary for employment as explained in the Ontario Skills Passport Work Habits.


Workplace Essential Skills

Develop a workplace literacy pilot program that will work closely with a local employer to include Essential Skills in existing training programs. The results of the pilot will be shared with employers in the Elgin, Middlesex Oxford area and across the province.


Oxford Labour Force Strategy

Create and release the Oxford Labour Force Strategy. This labour force strategy will focus on the sectors identified by the economic development offices as priorities in Oxford County. It will include a process and a commitment from the partners for updating the strategy as a living document, which will allow them to see the role for themselves and Oxford County in the larger workforce planning and development across the EMO that occurs in the TOP process.


Community Labour Market Information

Develop a coordinated plan to collect and distribute labour market information among key stakeholders. This could include the use of a common set of questions related to workforce issues and employer needs to be asked of employers and a variety of vehicles for sharing labour market information.


Current Government Legislation and Regulations

Research and create an online guide for employers highlighting, or linking to, requirements for employers to comply with legislation. The guide would identify requirements that change based on number of employees.


Local Talent Pools  

In order to maintain local talent in the EMO area, identify and promote existing pools of qualified candidates from publicly funded post secondary institutions and EO organizations. The focus should be on candidates with qualifications for those positions in which employers report difficulty recruiting: engineering, graphic design, technicians & technologists, metal fabricators, chefs & cooks, commercial drivers, management skills.
