With a substantial growth in residential building projects and an increase in government investment in the non-residential sector, the construction industry in Canada shows great progress and potential.
Construction pumps $130 billion into Canada's economy, and all of these economic growth indicators signal that it's an ideal time to search for a construction job.
Job numbers are forecasted to increase steadily across Canada in years to come, but unfortunately, because of the rising demand for skilled workers along with a large demographic of baby boomers retiring, the construction industry is expected to experience harsh labour shortages.
On top of this, issues around criminal record checks are rising as a major barrier in the recruitment process when it comes to hiring skilled workers.
Most companies who complete record checks do not screen past the "yes"or "no", don't look into what the record was for, when it was obtained or how it may or may not impact the working environment.
