The City is working closely with community partners to implement and facilitate its Workforce Development and In-Migration strategy. This strategy is designed to help Kingston Area employers to access in-demand labour while giving members of the public access to suite of employment resources. This is one of the priorities identified by Council in its 2019-2022 Strategic Plan. 

This strategy aims to attract a necessary skilled workforce while retaining students and mid-career talent in Kingston.
