Ottawa - 72.000 mil novos postos de trabalho nos próximos 04 anos

Uma amiga residente de Gatineau nos enviou essa matéria maravilhosa!!! vale a leitura... dá um ânimo a mais... hehehe

"Amigos,

Boa matéria publicada hoje na primeira página do jornal 24 Horas falando sobre a avalanche de empregos que vai desabar sobre o mercado de trabalho de Ottawa devido prinicipalmente a aposentadoria da Geracao X (que hoje esta’ na faixa dos 45-54 anos de idade) e ao crescimento natural do numero de vagas.

De acordo com a matéria, esses empregos nao vao ser preenchidos devido a falta de mao de obra para suprir as vagas e tambem pela ineficiencia de Ottawa em atrair imigrantes qualificados para virem morar/trabalhar na cidade (Ottawa perde para Toronto e Montreal nessa questao).

Alem disso, todas as empresas vao ter que se preocupar cada vez mais em oferecer incentivos a seus empregados para que permanecam no emprego e nao saiam em busca de melhores oportunidades (o custo para contratar um funcionario, dar treinamento e depois perde-lo sai caro para qualquer empresa).

A matéria ainda chama a atenção para o fato de que a taxa de aposentadoria no Servico Publico canadense vai se manter inalterada nos proximos quatro anos e que o Governo ainda nao se atentou para esta questao. Ou seja, em breve, 72.000 funcionarios publicos em Ottawa vao se aposentar e o Governo nao esta’ preparado para este exodo...

Fiquem de olho nas oportunidades!

Ottawa’s new labour market
GENERATION Y SET TO FILL JOB GAPS

“If you’re breathing and you have a resume, you’ll have a job.”

From page 1 QMI AGENCY — Young, self-centred, net-savvy multitaskers are inheriting the work force from retiring baby boomers, and Ottawa’s employers will have to figure out how to keep them around, the CEO of a local marketing company says.

The boomer exodus combined with Ottawa’s inability to attract skilled immigrants is creating “a perfect storm” of too many jobs and not enough people to fill them, said Steve Klein of Marketing Breakthroughs Inc.

Klein is behind a conference to be held June 23 that will show Ottawa and Eastern Ontario businesses what this latest generation wants.

Social office trips, cellphone allowances and leaves of absence are replacing stock options and pension plans as incentives for gen-Yers to stick around, Klein says.

Generation Y came of age with technology, were the founding Facebook users, embraced cellphones and grew up with a sense of entitlement.

They’re flighty, disloyal and apt to change jobs, which means employers will have to adapt to keep positions staffed.

If his own workers are any indication, Klein’s getting it right.

“I don’t see myself going anywhere for a long, long time,” said Casey O’Brien, a 27-year-old project manager at Klein’s company.

Klein (who is definitely “Steve” and not “Mr. Klein”) has an open-door policy and staff opinion is ac-tively sought, Casey said.

O’Brien is even given time off to take a career-advancing project management course at Algonquin College on the company’s dime.

“I’m not lying when I say I absolutely love my job,” she said.

Despite the predicted shortage of workers, the federal government appears largely unconcerned.

Retirements rates within the public service are projected to remain steady over the next four years.

But the greatest demographic bulge within the 274,000 public servants are boomers in the 45 to 54 age range, who add up to about 72,000 staff, according to a government report.

“If you’re breathing and you have a resume, you’ll have a job,” Klein predicts.
