Employer Labour Market News - Calgary Area, July 2008

This article discusses the HR crunch experienced by the voluntary sector, and its efforts to allievate the situation.

By Mario Toneguzzi, Calgary Herald, May 8, 2008

An article about the release of A Workforce Strategy for Alberta's Non-profit and Voluntary Sector that discusses the sector's importance to Alberta, and quotes CCVO's President and CEO, Katherine van Kooy.

Released April 28, 2008, this report from the Alberta government looks at the current hiring crisis in Alberta's voluntary sector, and what steps are and can be taken towards a solution.

This January 2007 report is the first stage of a multi-year HR initiative, and it serves as a starting point for discussion about the future of Alberta’s voluntary sector workforce. It provides background information for considering the implications of a general shortage of skilled labour and the increasingly competitive market conditions in Calgary and across the province.

CCVO undertook this paper on behalf of a working group convened by United Way of Calgary and Area (funding provided by the  United Way).
