This brief report focuses on the “non-food/beverage specific skilled trades” (e.g., electrician, millwright, etc.) which are in demand across multiple industrial sectors, including the Canadian food and beverage processing industry. Within the industry there are also various food and beverage specific trades that are key to the industry such as bakers and chefs, but these tend to have different patterns of demand and supply and have been addressed in detail within the various FPSC LMI reports to date. The supply and demand for non-food/beverage specific skilled trades are areas of growing concern for the industry given the challenges encountered in attracting and retaining these skilled workers, the competition from many different sectors for the limited supply, and the crucial role they play in the manufacturing process for many food and beverage processing companies.
