Ottawa Employment Hub is your provincially-funded Local Employment Planning Council. We connect business and community partners to bridge the skills gap and broaden the search for talent. We provide local labour market information to help employers, workers and job seekers make informed choices.
We have developed a new Monthly Labour Market Bulletin to provide a view of the changing local labour market during the current COVID-19 situation.
Explore the June bulletin to see what industry sectors and occupations have been most impacted in Ottawa.
