Working Groups: Human Resources Development

The objectives of the Human Resources Development Working Group are to increase the availability and enhance the capabilities and credentials of technically qualified people in Canada; promote and enhance the image and awareness of automotive career opportunities to parents, students and educators; create the necessary balance between applied and academic learning opportunities in the education system and workplace; and encourage increased investment in the education and training of the existing automotive workforce. The working group is chaired by Greig Mordue, Assistant General Manager, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc.

As sector council for the automotive manufacturing industry, the Council for Automotive Human Resources (CAHR) was established on April 22, 2004, to develop a human resource strategy, and to address the current and future labour market issues for the industry on a national basis. CAHR and CAPC act collectively to ensure the future competitiveness of the Canadian automotive industry.
