In October 2019, the Confederation of Canadian Unions (CCU) held its 50th Anniversary Convention in Ottawa. Michelle Branigan from Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC) spoke about the future of the electricity industry in Canada, the future of the job market, and how the industry is becoming more diverse in the changing economy of the 21st century.

The EHRC works to strengthen the ability of the Canadian electricity industry to meet current and future needs for their workforce – one that is highly skilled, safety-focused, diverse and productive. Above all, the organizations also provides evidence-based solutions to the human resource challenges facing the electricity industry.
