Creating Green Jobs in Ontario
Renfrew & Lanark County Census Division
In the province of Ontario there are 25 Local Board areas, which are funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. These Local Boards are non-profit, community-based organizations comprised of volunteers from business, labour, education, and community groups. The role of Local Boards is to utilize the Trends, Opportunities and Priorities (TOP) Process to identify and prioritize local labour market issues. Once labour market issues are identified, the Local Board works with community partners developing a plan of action to be implemented by the community the following year. The goal of this plan of action is to meet the changing labour market needs of the community, which the Local Board serves. In the absence of a Local Board, the (recently renamed) Labour Market Group of Renfrew and Lanark has been contracted by the 1000 Islands Region Workforce Development Board to administrate the TOP Process and facilitate community based projects that will improve workforce conditions in the Renfrew and Lanark County Region.
