Business tackles job skills crunch Leaders vow major lobbying effort; 'Right across the country it is huge and it is growing'
2000
Overview
Adam Chowaniec, Tundra Semiconductor Corp.'s chief executive, said the difficulty in hiring qualified engineers is leading the Kanata, Ont.-based, high-tech company to take over other firms just to acquire their workforce. Tundra recently bought Quadic Systems Inc. of South Portland, Me., for US$45-million partly to gain its experienced semiconductor engineers. Its data indicate 11 occupations where there are shortages that include managers in production, communications and other services; wholesale trade specialists; auditors, accountants and investment professionals; civil, mechanical and industrial engineers; and machinists. Some shortages could be resolved by paying prospective employees more. Others, where there are simply insufficient trained people, include computer engineers, therapy and assessment professionals, health services support staff, and creative designers and craftspersons. \"Anecdotal evidence suggests that some occupations -- trade specialists, truck drivers, nurses, teachers, systems analysts -- are in shortage,\" HRDC said. \"While this perception is not supported by the data, this does not mean that employers are not experiencing difficulty in finding qualified employees in those occupations.\"
