EDMONTON, AB. — As many Canadians face employment challenges as a result of COVID-19, the Government of Canada has launched a new webpage to promote job opportunities in the agriculture and agri-food sector.
The webpage titled, “Step up to the Plate – Feeding Canadians”, provides links to job listings and student employment resources, while highlighting the industry’s designation as an essential service. It also lays out the various skill sets needed to operate a reliable food system.
Access to labour remains one of the most important issues impacting beef production in Canada. Moving forward, attracting Canadians who are seeking employment to the agriculture sector, will play a key role in further positioning the industry as a driver of economic growth.
Workers across our food supply chain provide essential services to the country and are key to managing the outbreak of COVID-19, while ensuring that affordable food continues to reach grocery store shelves and kitchen tables.
