BACKGROUND
The Canadian Agricultural HR Council is a national, non-profit organization focused on addressing human resource issues facing agricultural businesses across Canada. The Council works to fully understand and meet the unique needs of those within the various commodity areas that define the national agricultural industry. We serve the agriculture community and are recognized as the centre for reliable labour market information, and the access point for customizable solutions related to LMI, HR management and training. Industry participation is the cornerstone of the Council. All research, project work and product development activities are supported by national stakeholder participation to ensure quality, accuracy and relevance of prepared solutions. Our efforts are collaborative and involve the participation of agricultural leaders, governments and educational stakeholders to research, develop and implement solutions to challenges in employment and skills development in agriculture.
