National highlights
Canada’s energy industry is evolving
Canada’s energy industry is tasked with a dual mandate of growing its production to meet national and global energy demand, while simultaneously pursuing a low-carbon future. The established energy industry remains critical to the country’s energy system and economic well-being; at the same time, it’s an asset to support lower-carbon energy sources.
An integrated energy system and workforce
Canada’s energy industry is becoming increasingly integrated and so is its workforce. Foundational technology, equipment, skills and expertise are being expanded and applied in innovative ways to develop new low-carbon energy sources and deploy emissions-reduction technologies. Many of the qualifications required by Canada’s emerging energy sectors already exist within established energy sectors.
Canada’s established energy industry workforce is critical
Established energy sectors continue to generate the majority of new jobs and grow their workforce to 2035. Emerging energy sectors’ job creation accounts for 8-10% of projected new energy jobs.
Increase in quality energy jobs
Diversifying Canada’s energy industry increases the number of quality jobs in both established and emerging sectors. Transferable foundational skills and expertise across sectors provide job security, opportunities for career growth and horizontal career pathways. Energy careers make meaningful contributions to society with their key role in ensuring a secure, affordable and low-carbon energy supply—all while offering fair and competitive wages.
Central region highlights
