Human Resources

Lakeshore and Windsor-Essex have one of the most skilled, dedicated and progressive labour forces in Canada.

It’s not just that Henry Ford introduced Canada’s first assembly line here in the early days of the last century.

It’s that our working men and women carry on the spirit of being open to change and diversity, being responsive to inspiration and being dedicated to the work assigned to them.

More than this, they feel welcome to bring forth ideas of their own, many of which have resulted in efficiencies and advances which would not have occurred if it had not been for the initiative they continually show.

In a word, ADAPTABLE!

Lakeshore's workforce is an educated one. Nearly 60 percent of Lakeshore's population between 25 and 64 years of age has completed a post-secondary program and obtained a certificate or degree.

The region in which Lakeshore is located has one of the highest value added ratios per worker in Canada. In other words: when you invest in our workers, you receive even more than you entrusted to them.

We are part of a community with 100 different heritages. Nearly 20 percent of Lakeshore’s population speaks both of Canada’s official languages: English and French. And just as many speak other languages……a bonus which is seldom found elsewhere.

Our community conscious labour force has an outstanding record for being responsible, generous members of our community, offering remarkable and ongoing support to good causes in Lakeshore and all around the area.

Our labour community is spirited, involved and reliable.
