The automotive industry in Canada is shifting focus, along with many other industries and sectors, towards zero-emissions products and processes. The move in automotive manufacturing involves transitioning towards the production of electric vehicles (EVs), and the expansion of battery manufacturing capabilities and its supply chain. Canada’s automotive manufacturing industry is the source of over 180,000 jobs across the country. It is essential with the recent investment and production announcements in EV and battery manufacturing to understand how the shift will impact automotive manufacturing jobs and their skills throughout the entire supply chain. This will enable manufacturers to prepare their existing labour force to transition smoothly into the new demands and challenges of EV and battery production, and identify what areas will require re-skilling and further training.
