With over 1 million workers in the Ontario nonprofit sector, including contract and part-time, nonprofits play a key role as employers and leaders of social and economic development of communities- including influencing labour market conditions.
Metcalf Foundation Fellow Tom Zizys brings a fresh perspective to labour market issues and the need to shift from the focus on the supply side and what is it that individuals need to get work, to the demand side of how employer practices affect opportunities to access good jobs.
So, how can we collectively build on this to impact labour force trends and good jobs for Ontarians?
Looking at the big picture, the webinar will look at the longer term trends that have profoundly affected Ontario’s labour market, while proposing a number of policy prescriptions to improve employment outcomes for more people.
ONN is pleased to present this webinar as part of a larger discussion on ways to strengthen and support the sector’s labour force. This will no doubt be of interest to both nonprofit employers and organizations across Ontario that support the training and development of people.
Cost: $30 for ONN Members/ $60 for Nonmembers
