A growing need for IT
Demand for accounting, finance, IT, engineering and health-care professionals will continue to dominate this year's want ads, while skills in communication and project management will remain red hot, human resource professionals predict.
"We're seeing huge IT needs consistently and the demand continues to get bigger and bigger," says Kimberley Wakefield, director of marketing and communications at The Career Edge Organization, a national internship facilitator.
"We're also seeing an uptake in the need for business and financial analysts," she says. "Engineering is the third big field for us. More and more foreign-trained engineers are coming to Canada. It's quite a hot area. I think the government is going to become a huge employer of engineers."
According to Martin Rivard of Service Canada, the following industries have good job opportunities through 2009:
- Healthcare, including physicians, specialist physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and pharmacists.
- Engineering and science, such as engineers and technicians, information systems professionals, electronic service technicians (household and business equipment).
- Businesses such as HR professionals, financial auditors and accountants.
- Trades, including transport and equipment operators, automotive service technicians, heavy-duty equipment mechanics, steam fitters, pipe fitters and sprinkler system installers.
More and more, employers are looking for soft skills, reports Gerlinde Herrmann, chair of the Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario and president of The Herrmann Group, a provider of talent management solutions.
"People with leadership skills are in demand. China is importing them, which creates a shortage in other countries," Herrmann says.
