Announced by Premier Wab Kinew, the new subcommittees reflect Manitoba’s evolving economic priorities and bring together leaders from business, labour, Indigenous organizations, and post-secondary institutions to help strengthen the province’s economy amid trade negotiations with the United States of America.

BAM’s participation aligns with the organization’s mandate to support industry and workforce development in Manitoba’s bioscience sector. A strong, sustainable talent pipeline across research, manufacturing, and commercialization is key to success.

“We’re excited to be part of this important Council to contribute a bioscience perspective to conversations around sector, education, training, and workforce development,” said Andrea Ladouceur, President and CEO of BAM. “Building and retaining talent is critical to the long-term success of Manitoba’s economy. This table gives us the opportunity to share industry insight, identify gaps, and help shape solutions that connect people to meaningful careers while supporting economic growth across the province.”

With the addition of the new Education, Training and Workforce Development subcommittee, the Premier’s Business and Jobs Council is further strengthening its focus on skills development and workforce readiness.

BAM looks forward to collaborating with government, post-secondary institutions, and industry partners through this work to ensure Manitoba’s workforce continues to grow and thrive.
