Bright Futures in Canada Conference


May 24, 2011 to May 26, 2011


The Bright Futures in Canada Conference is the national conference dedicated to the electricity and renewable energy industry workforce. Within the next five years, this sector will experience labour shortages due to the pending retirement of skilled workers and a massive regeneration of the electricity infrastructure. According to the projections of the ESC 2008 Powering Up the Future Study, electricity organizations will experience an annual shortfall of between 3,000 and 4,500 workers by 2012. In an effort to meet the needs for a skilled, safe and sustainable workforce, the ESC's 2011 Bright Futures in Canada Conference will provide industry stakeholders with innovative and practical solutions to the human resources challenges they face. The two-day, interactive event will feature notable speakers who will share the latest and most advanced initiatives designed to mitigate the current and future labour shortage. Conference attendees will hear about ESC research and program initiatives and gain ground on key human resource strategies to develop a skilled, safe and sustainable workforce now and in the future.

The successful 2009 conference was a great networking and learning opportunity for industry and other stakeholders who were in attendance, and the Council promises to deliver an even bigger and better conference next year!
