Workforce Shortage 1 Manitoba Government is taking a step to Help Address the Workforce Shortage by Investing more than $516,000

The Manitoba government released very big news on the morning of June 23, 2022. It announced that it would be investing more than $516,000 to enable Regional Connections, a settlement service located in the Pembina Valley region of South Central Manitoba, to provide employment training in the Pembina Valley for Unemployed residents and Underemployed groups.

This sum of money will be directed towards four different projects that will take place in the Pembina Valley to help the shortage of the workforce and to improve the overall economic development. According to Manitoba’s Investment and Trade Minister Cliff Cullen, “The Manitoba government is committed to providing meaningful employment opportunities for all Manitobans, including residents of the Pembina Valley, and addressing the skills gap and workforce shortage in the area. Our government’s investment will enable Regional Connections to provide project-based employment services so unemployed and underemployed Manitobans living in the Pembina Valley can receive short-term skills development and on-the-job training to find and maintain purposeful employment.”

After his detailed explanation, it was concluded that the four projects would be the Employment Assistance Services Project, the Professional Bridging Program Project, the Employer-Driven Curriculum Development Project and finally, the Gateway to Work Experience for Newcomers Plan.

Each project will focus on a specific group of people and the projects that will help them prepare to work in various entry-level professions, gain knowledge about Canada’s work environment and gain the needed experience to maintain sustainable employment in the Pembina Valley.

The Queer Space Speaker Series, hosted by Rainbow Resource Centre, celebrated its third year and brought together queer leaders, artists, and activists to discuss community, celebrate identity, and inspire the ongoing fight for queer and human rights.

Attending the event at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, it was immediately clear that community was the centre of conversation. During the pre-event reception, individuals gathered to connect and talk. During the short break in the presentation, people moved from their seats to engage in more discussion of what they had learned and to learn more from the panellists and speakers. These moments of connection and community are more important than ever, as evidenced by the findings of the State of 2SLGBTQ+ Communities in Manitoba survey.Continue Reading
