Community Futures Capital Region supports Tri-Region Labour Study
The Tri-Municipal Partners – The City of Spruce Grove, the Town of Stony Plain, and Parkland County developed a Labour Market Strategy & Action Plan for the Tri-Municipal Region.
The purpose of this comprehensive study is to provide relevant, timely, and accurate labour market information to stakeholders, including job seekers, employers, industry, post-secondary institutions, and government agencies. With the completion of this document the Tri-Municipal partners are in a better position to address labour market issues and identify opportunities within the region.
