About TWIG
Welcome to the Toronto Workforce Innovation Group
Toronto Workforce Innovation Group works to ensure that Toronto is prepared to meet the demands of a changing economy. Our priority is to match the skills in demand with the supply of workers available and build a resilient, competitive and talented workforce.
We do this by:
- identifying workforce issues that are characteristic of the local community; and
- providing collaborative solutions by engaging stakeholders and working with partners.
Because we cover all sectors -- not just one or a select few-- our neutral position allows us to quickly connect the appropriate partners for the common good. We define innovation as creating value and improving the social and economic well being of all residents who live, work and play in Toronto. We envision Toronto prospering from an inclusive and integrated workforce.
