Like every other industry, the COVID-19 epidemic has had an impact on manufacturing. In the wake of the downturn, there was a record-breaking increase in unemployment. This trend has continued to affect the Canadian economy. 3 million Canadians were without work at the peak of the crisis, with the manufacturing sector being the most affected.

Despite this increase in people seeking work, manufacturing companies still face skills shortages. This is because there will always be gaps between what they need and what is on the labour market. The so-called “blue-collar crisis” is affecting businesses. While roles are becoming more technical and complex, fewer people choose to study and train in manufacturing. However, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t job vacancies or a job surge. With this on the plate, the demands of manufacturing jobs in Ontario are on the rise.

Dawn Staffing Solutions helped a client get an appropriate millwright and a maintenance supervisor for his company. Here’s how we went about the process:
