What is IWD’s Role?

Providing expertise in what the workplace needs and how to

access the right people at the right time for the right job – Over 90% of businesses in Manitoba are small and medium – sized enterprises who need skilled labour but who do not have the internal capacity to excel at human resource systems or training

Engaging employers is critical and necessary to ensuring that

more Manitobans, particularly those with historical barriers, successfully transition to the workplace

Facilitating the advancement of existing workers to maximize

their career and earning potential and to open up entry level jobs
