Effective Recruitment and Retention of Underrepresented Demographics in Nova Scotia’s Automotive Sector

Currently in Nova Scotia there is under-representation of diverse individuals employed in the automotive sector and a growing job vacancy rate. The Nova Scotia Automotive Sector Council seeks to understand the current employment and recruitment rates, barriers and opportunities for improvement in collaboration with our partner organizations from under-presented groups. In order to create inclusive recruitment and retention strategies, safe work-spaces, mentorship culture and cultural safety in the future, we need to understand what currently works, what doesn’t and how we can improve as an Industry.
