Tourism Workforce Survey

The Ontario Tourism Education Corporation (OTEC) is currently working with the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario (TIAO) to develop Ontario's Tourism Workforce Development Strategy.

This project will compile an inventory of current workforce development frameworks across the province and their capacity to meet changing industry needs and market conditions.

A complete understanding of the activities, frameworks and perspectives that enable industry, education and pre-employment partners to respond to the needs of industry will be critical to the development of a cohesive tourism workforce development strategy. It is for this reason that we would like to ask for your assistance in distributing the brief surveys that follow to stakeholders in your region. The results will remain confidential.
