Training Validation and Tracking for Canada’s Trucking Sector
EF 2020-21 · 2020-11-09
Résumé
Prior to the onset of COVID-19, the Canadian trucking industry was facing a labour shortage of 20,000 jobs, which is forecasted to increase to over 50,000 by 2024. COVID-19 has introduced new challenges and impacted the ability of drivers to access work sites, find work, or even get a meal or shower. A push to develop domestic manufacturing capacity, dynamic supply chains and a surge in online shopping (e-commerce) and home delivery are placing increased pressure on the industry and the highly stressed Canadian commercial driver training sector. Bluedrop is seeking to customize and test its SkillsPass platform to help the trucking industry address the new challenges that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Description (French)
Avant le début de la COVID-19, l'industrie canadienne du camionnage était confrontée à une pénurie de main-d'œuvre de 20 000 emplois, qui devrait passer à plus de 50 000 d'ici 2024. La COVID-19 a posé de nouveaux défis et a eu un impact sur la capacité des chauffeurs à accéder aux sites de travail, à trouver du travail, ou même à prendre un repas ou une douche. La volonté de développer la capacité de fabrication nationale, les chaînes d'approvisionnement dynamiques et l'essor des achats en ligne (commerce électronique) et de la livraison à domicile exercent une pression accrue sur l'industrie et sur le secteur canadien de la formation des conducteurs commerciaux, qui est très perturbé. Bluedrop veut personnaliser et tester sa plateforme SkillsPass pour aider l'industrie du camionnage à relever les nouveaux défis découlant de la pandémie de COVID-19.
