By 2043, The Canadian Aerospace needs to produce up to 44,000 Airplanes to meet demand, and we need to be ready to support this growth. Manitoba's aerospace industry is a significant contributor to the province's economy, recognized for its expertise in areas such as composite materials, manufacturing, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. The industry is home to a diverse range of companies, from small and medium-sized enterprises to global. As a key player in Canada's aerospace sector, the industry in Manitoba continues to evolve, embracing new technologies and meeting the changing needs of the global aerospace market. Labor Market Intelligence (LMI) surveys provide invaluable insights that support continued growth and success of this key sector. The knowledge gained helps to ensure a skilled and competitive workforce, inform education and training programs, and guide future strategies to address any identified skills gaps or challenges. Thank you in advance for your time, and for your voice. Please feel free to share with your colleagues and anyone who you feel can add value to building a strategy so job seekers can stand out.
