  2. Workforce Development Definition The development, retention, and recruitment of a wide range of skilled workers to meet the economic and social development requirements of a diverse set of communities in Windsor-Essex. Development calls for a focus on continuous learning (life-long learning) accompanied by planned efforts to increase the available skill sets and to remove barriers to a more full participation in the labour market. Retention requires the availability of employment opportunities and strategies that recognize, require, utilize, and reward the increasing skills of the local labour force. Recruitment includes identification of the human resource needs of both new and emerging business and industry as well as by the current labour market. To achieve the above requires strong leadership on the part of educators, employers and community organizations, an increased sense of self-responsibility for skill development by all participants in the labour force, and recognition of the need for cultural change within the workplace if Windsor-Essex is to have a competitive workforce in an era of global competition.
