The vision of the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council is a qualified and motivated workforce that is sufficient to sustain profitable agriculture in Canada. To achieve this goal, the Council has a mission to research, develop, and communicate solutions to human resource issues identified by Canadian primary agriculture. The Council’s mission is guided by five activity areas: • Identifying employment solutions to build Canada’s agriculture labour force; • Advancing the skills and training of employers and employees; • Increasing awareness of agriculture’s HR issues and CAHRC’s initiatives; • Ensuring CAHRC is representative, responsive, connected and results-based; and • Operating CAHRC in a fiscally responsible manner. The first two activity areas are increasingly being combined to help connect skilled and trained workers with the employment needs of Canada’s primary agriculture sector.
