6 sectors of the future supported by the Visées program
With a diversified economy, Quebec is counting increasingly on emerging and strategic sectors that are likely to innovate, create jobs and respond to global challenges, to build a sustainable, competitive and resilient economy for the coming years.
Respond to the challenges of Quebec businesses
The 6 sectors supported by Visées play an essential role in the economic vitality of Quebec. The strong demand for labour and skills they generate testify to their potential to create jobs of the future.
Did you know that 2,300 businesses operate in the clean tech sector? That an average of 70,000 employees are already working in advanced manufacturing in Quebec?
That 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 don’t yet exist in digital technology?!
A shortage of specialized skills, high cost of recruitment, global competition for talent, challenges in training and adaptation… businesses that operate in these sectors are confronted with complex problems and must adapt to rapid change: strengthening internal skills is THE solution that is required to stay at the leading edge of innovation and competitiveness.
