How can Canada close its skilled trades gap?
|
|
When asked about the moldmaking industry’s current status, some respondents thought business was good and the industry was strong, while others indicated that the sector was slow. A common thread in the survey, however, showed that many companies are expecting at least some kind of windfall as the focus on EV technology increases.
