A look at those high-demand jobs that are expected to the most sought-after as Canada begins recovering from the significant economic impact in the post- COVID-19 era.
As Canada’s economy has been gradually recovering from the pandemic, restrictions are likely to be lifted.
With the onset of COVID-19, we have witnessed businesses starting to adapt to the new norms. Alongside ‘Work from Home’, online collaborations and video-conferences have made it to the new essentials of running a business.
Other spheres of businesses that require employees to be physically present, implement stringent policies like wearing face masks and maintaining safe distancing to safeguard health keeping with the government’s advice.
As a consequence, there has been a significant rise in unemployment and many have lost their jobs as certain businesses have been severely affected by the lockdowns. What comes as a respite in this scenario is that it is projected to change soon.
Predicting the outlook for 2021, Canadian employers are now planning to rehire those team members who were let go owing to the pandemic. As per reports released by Randstad Canada, a human resources consultancy firm, vacancies are soon going to spring up, and specialized skills will be in great demand in 2021.
Let us see what it looks like:
