About Us

The North Superior Workforce Planning Board (NSWPB) is one of twenty-six Local Boards across Ontario mandated through the Ministry of Labour, Training, and Skills Development to identify, assess and prioritize the skills and knowledge needs of community, employers and individual participants/learners in the local labour market through a collaborative, local labour market planning process.

As a non-profit organization, the North Superior Workforce Planning Board is governed by a Board of Directors who represent the community and various Labour Market Partner Groups. The Directors serve on various committees volunteering their time and expertise to workforce development issues. Each Director is expected to be a liaison between the community and the Board. Being a Board Member on the NSWPB provides several unique challenges simply due to our local geography, however through teleconferences and substantial travel, NSWPB Directors make it work.

Vision - A strategically aligned labour force to meet demands across Northwestern Ontario.

Mission - Engaging community partners in leading collaborative workforce development planning.

The North Superior Workforce Planning Board will:
- Build a strategic workforce readiness plan
- Create a dynamic, responsive process to satisfy current needs and prepare people for emerging labour market opportunities within a global economy
- Leverage community alliances to maximize labour market capacity and competitiveness
