Feeding Your Future, a project of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), is working to streamline the process and make it easier for employers to find, train, and retain the workers they need, and help employ Ontarians with meaningful jobs, in order to help fill current agri-food labour gaps. Employers are finding it challenging to find the right candidates to fill the many agri-food jobs available, especially amidst a global pandemic.
Feeding Your Future has partnered with AgCareers.com and CareersInFood.com to coordinate a rapid support system to help employers connect with job seekers throughout COVID-19 and beyond.
