The collaborative development of a regional workforce plan is underway to focus on attracting, developing, and retaining a skilled workforce in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding has been secured through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food &amp; Rural Affairs\u2019 Rural Economic Development (RED) program to develop a new, Muskoka-specific regional job board and a regional workforce strategy and implementation plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis funding is a testament to the provincial government\u2019s commitment to ensuring that rural and small-town communities have the necessary tools to attract and retain workers. We\u2019re working collaboratively with our municipal partners across Parry Sound-Muskoka to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to grow and prosper,\u201d said Graydon Smith, MPP Parry Sound-Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This RED grant funding will support the development of a comprehensive workforce development strategy and implementation plan to address Muskoka-specific needs and challenges. The plan will consider existing programming across the District as well as best practices in other areas and will guide the implementation of future workforce programs and initiatives in Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of this initiative is to foster a coordinated approach toward addressing the challenges of the changing workforce in Muskoka. To ensure the success of these critical projects, the partners will provide leadership and coordination while working closely with local businesses, institutions, organizations, and partners to ensure collaboration across Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s no secret there are challenges finding workers in some important industries across Ontario, and Muskoka is no exception. This funding allows us to launch a collaborative effort with our area municipalities to address these challenges and help Muskoka residents and businesses find work and workers,\u201d said Jeff Lehman, District of Muskoka Chair.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The District of Muskoka in partnership with Muskoka&#8217;s six lower-tier municipalities is taking proactive steps to address the challenges and barriers in the changing workforce.
