Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean

The area, in brief

Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean will need to recruit more than 600 new construction workers per year through 2029, according to forecasts from the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) — a pace the regional labour pool is struggling to match: an aging workforce and an insufficient pipeline of graduates (about 300 per year at the Centre de formation professionnelle de Jonquière) point to excellent prospects in carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, and industrial mechanics. This demand rests on major industrial job sites — modernization of Rio Tinto's hydroelectric and aluminum production facilities, expansion of the Port of Saguenay's industrial-port zone — combined with recurring needs in healthcare, education, and residential renovation.
