New this year: workforce needs are now presented both quantitatively and qualitatively, for all trades and for all regions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the current economic context, the CCQ intends to put into play data and analyses that not only will be useful for a fuller understanding the economic context for construction but will also enable the CCQ and its partners to offer strategies adapted to the needs; in this case, the objectives sought are better job retention, ways to attract more graduates to the construction trades, and greater employment of immigrants.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Average annual workforce needs are established in relation to predicted demand, worker turnover, the evolution of worker ageing, worker availability, and graduation levels in the trades. The current projection is based on the CCQ\u2019s most recent forecast, made in 2023, and covers work subject to Act R-20, which excludes residential renovations. Certain investments by Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec are related to its Plan d\u2019action 2035.

Although needs are high throughout Qu\u00e9bec, the Greater Montr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec City, and Mauricie\u2013Bois-Franc regions will be particularly affected.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThese data confirm that there will be a need for workers for a number of years to come and that the modernization undertaken by our government is necessary,\u201d stated Jean Boulet, Minister of Labour and Minister Responsible for the Mauricie Region, the Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue Region, and the Nord-du-Qu\u00e9bec Region. \u201cThe measures proposed, including building a versatile and mobile workforce, will make it possible to reduce construction delays, lower costs, and ensure a better match between Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s construction capacity and the immense needs.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;The construction sector will be looking for around 9% of its projected workforce over the next few years, when almost 200,000 workers will be on the job sites, explains Audrey Murray, CEO of the CCQ. These figures are comparable to other economic sectors.\u00a0 Over the coming months, we will continue to improve our measurement of needs. In 2023, we welcomed 3,950 new construction graduates, out of nearly 15,700 new employees. Strategies to attract, retain and train the workforce we need will have to be bold and agreed with key partners. Intensifying the use of work-study programs is already emerging as an avenue to be favored. The CCQ will be on hand to implement appropriate solutions.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Consult the CCQ\u2019s publication <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccq.org\/-\/media\/Project\/Ccq\/Ccq-Website\/PDF\/Recherche\/PerspectivesRegionales\/2024-2028\/LR_024_Perspectives-complet.pd\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Perspectives r\u00e9gionales dans l\u2019industrie de la construction 2024-2028<\/span><\/i><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong> :<\/p>\n<p>Marie-No\u00eblle Deblois<br \/>\nDirection des affaires publiques et des communications<br \/>\n514\u00a0265-6422<br \/>\n<a href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#105;&#108;to&#x3a;&#x6d;&#x65;&#100;ia&#x73;&#x40;&#x63;&#99;&#113;&#46;&#x6f;&#x72;&#x67;\">&#x6d;&#x65;&#100;ia&#x73;&#x40;&#99;&#99;q&#x2e;&#x6f;&#114;&#103;<\/a><br \/>\nSite Web\u00a0: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccq.org\/\">ccq.org<\/a><br \/>\nFacebook.com\/ccq[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221;
