To help build awareness of career pathways that fuel the electric vehicle supply chain – from mineral exploration to automotive and mobility – Laurentian University launched the Regional Future Workforce (RFW) program.
Through summer camps and in-person events at local schools, the program is helping introduce youth in the region to the variety of career opportunities available within Ontario’s automotive and mobility sector.
The pilot program has been developed in partnership with local and community organizations, as well as with the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) and the Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI). Through the RFW, program partners aim to reduce the stigma associated with automotive industry careers and prioritize engagement with students from equity-deserving and underrepresented groups.
