We believe Canadians should feel confident about the skills they have to succeed in a changing workforce. As a pan-Canadian community, we are collaborating to rigorously identify, test, measure, and share innovative approaches to assessing and developing the skills Canadians need to thrive in the days and years ahead.  \nThe Future Skills Centre was founded by a consortium whose members are Toronto Metropolitan University, Blueprint, and The Conference Board of Canada.  \nIf you would like to learn more about this report and other skills research from FSC, visit us at fscccf.ca or contact [info@fsc-ccf.ca](info@fsc-ccf.ca).  \n[fsc-ccf.ca](fsc-ccf.ca)  \nIn partnership with:  \nFunded by the Government of Canada’s Future Skills Program  \nContents  \n4  \nKey findings  \n5  \nGreen transition  \n6  \nGreen skills in demand  \n7  \nGreen skills on the map  \n9  \nGreen skills in the field  \n11  \nGreen skills and  \npost-secondary education  \n13  \nAppendix A  \nMethodology  \n15  \nAppendix B  \nBibliography  \nThe Conference Board of Canada 3  \nHiring Green  \nKey findings  \n• Employers look for 35 specific green skills and competencies when hiring. Wastewater processing and renewable energy are the top areas of green expertise that employers seek.  \n• Demand for green skills is not yet widespread, with only  \n1.15 per cent of job postings in 2023 requiring them. However, green skills are highly demanded in some industries. Up to  \n16 per cent of advertised jobs in key sectors like mining and utilities require green skills.  \n• The largest number of job postings requiring green skills are found in the professional services sector. The occupations requiring green skills the most are administrative officers, civil and electrical engineers, and corporate sales and business managers. Most of these roles are projected to experience above-average growth in employment by 2040.  \n• Ontario has the highest number of job postings that require green skills, with twice as many as the runner-up, British Columbia. However, the jurisdiction with the largest share of job postings requiring green skills is the Northwest Territories.  \n• Most green jobs require post-secondary education credentials, but more than half of jobs require a college diploma or less, indicating opportunities at all levels of education.  \n• Canadian post-secondary institutions (PSIs) are generally focused on developing the green skills most in demand in the labour market. Apparent gaps in Canadian PSI programs relate to third party standards or certifications, such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 14000 and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).  \nThe Conference Board of Canada  \n4  \nGreen transition  \nThe threat of climate change is driving an urgent need to decrease reliance on unsustainable practices and technologies in the workplace. The transition to the green economy is expected to create new employment opportunities and surging demand for green expertise for the sustainable jobs of today and tomorrow.1  \nWhile green skills are important for the future of work, there is a lack of clarity on the types of expertise that are needed and how the demand might vary across regions, sectors, and occupations in Canada.2 A better understanding of this demand is especially important for post-secondary leaders and educators, who are central to facilitating skills acquisition and shaping a sustainable workforce.  \nIn this study, we discuss the top green skills needed in Canada drawing upon data from Vicinity Jobs, a Canadian labour market data and analytics company that uses a directory of 35 skills to identify jobs in environmental and social sustainability (i.e., green jobs).3 We a","cbCaitoKQGB4MEwj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitoKQGB4MEwj","pdf",5258928,17,"English","# Key findings\n# Green transition\n# Green skills in demand\n# Green skills on the map\n# Green skills in the field\n# Green skills and post-secondary education\n# Appendix A\n## Methodology\n# Appendix B\n## Bibliography","[{\"question\":\"How many green skills do employers look for when hiring in Canada?\",\"answer\":\"Employers look for 35 specific green skills and competencies when hiring.\"},{\"question\":\"What areas of green expertise show the strongest demand?\",\"answer\":\"Wastewater processing and renewable energy are the top areas of green expertise that employers seek.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report say about green skills requirements across job postings and education levels?\",\"answer\":\"Only a small share of job postings nationwide require green skills, but certain industries reach much higher levels; most roles require post-secondary education, while more than half require a college diploma or less.\"}]","Hiring Green - An Analysis of the Demand for Green Skills in Canada - Data Briefing - June 6, 2024 | PDF",1791012391,43]
