1 Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Outlook Occupational Snapshot Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology (NOC 2255) Technologists and Technicians Occupational Group Technical occupations geomatics clude aerial survey, remote sensg, geographic formation systems, cartographic and photogrammetric technologists and technicians, who gather, analyze, terpret and use geospatial formation for applications natural resources, geology, environmental research and land use planng. Meteorological technologists and technicians observe weather and atmospheric conditions, record, terpret, transmit and report on meteorological data, and provide weather formation to the agricultural, natural resources and transportation dustries and the public. Geomatics technologists and technicians are employed by all levels of government, utilities, mappg, computer software, forestry, architectural, engeerg and consultg firms and other related establishments. Meteorological technologists and technicians are employed by all levels of government, the media, natural resources, utilities and transportation companies and consultg firms. (More NOC 2255 formation is provided folg the Strategies and Actions section.) Highlights For BC overall, the forecast shows an creasgly challengg labour market for Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology. Conditions become tight by year 2, and rema tight for the balance of the forecast period. In the Lower Maland, the forecast shows an creasgly challengg labour market. The conditions beg balanced, move to tight by 2018, and rema tight until the fal year of the forecast period. For Northern BC, the forecast shows a tight labour market from The same is true for the Vancouver Island Coast region. Southeastern BC shows a tight labour market all years of the forecast. For Northern and Southeastern BC, when normal unemployment 1 is taken to consideration, there are worker shortages at least 2 years. 1 The shortage is calculated by assumg that 50% of the normally unemployed will be workg the occupation, effectively cuttg normal unemployment by half. If fewer workers are drawn to the workforce, the shortages are more pronounced. If all the normally unemployed remaed outside of the workforce, Northern BC would show a shortage of workers all occupations and all years.

2 Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Outlook Occupational Snapshot The High Investment Scenario adds 15 more job opengs than the Low the first 5 years of the forecast. The Low Investment Scenario adds 5 more job opengs than the High the last half of the forecast, for a net effect of 10 more job opengs (1.5%) the High Scenario. This is similar Northern BC, though the impact is larger 10%. In the Lower Maland, the High Scenario outperforms the Low all 10 years. In Southeastern BC and the Vancouver Island Coast regions, the Low Investment Scenario creates more job opengs than the High over the full 10 years of the forecast. New supply is expected to average under 100% of job opengs (97%) over the forecast period, but to be er (88%) the first 5 years. Southeastern BC has a bigger supply lag the first 5 years, at 82%. The number of positions for Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology creases by 15% over the 10 year forecast. In Architectural, Engeerg and Related Services, the rate of growth is 20%. In Support Activities for Mg and Oil and Gas Extraction, the rate of growth is 0. Job opengs are created more by Attrition (64%) than by Expansion (36%) BC, the Lower Maland and the Vancouver Island Coast region. Job opengs Northern and Southeastern BC are created largely (close to 80%) by Attrition. More than 1 4 workers Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology today will leave the labour market by the end of the forecast period. Half of the workers who add to the supply of Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology are newly traed and new to the workforce. This is 3 4 Northern BC. 2 5 of the new workers Southeastern BC and the Vancouver Island Coast region are from other regions or provces. Changes the number of jobs and workers available the labour market are driven much more by the base economy than by large scale projects and programs. 44% of workers Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology live the Lower Maland; 8% of these workers are Northern BC; 18% are Southeastern BC; and 31% work the Vancouver Island Coast region. On average, workers Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology have years left their workg lives. BC Labour Market: Three Economic Scenarios The Skills Table models the labour market based on three different economic scenarios to provide a range of plausible possibilities for changes the labour market. The Low Investment, or conservative, scenario cludes projects that are underway or certa, while the Moderate Investment, or expected, scenario adds projects that are planned and likely to proceed. The High Investment, or optimistic, scenario adds projects that have been announced but with more distant start dates or more regulatory approvals needed to Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology (NOC 2255) 2

3 Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Outlook Occupational Snapshot proceed. The analysis that fols is based on the Moderate Investment Scenario. The impacts of the Low and High Investment Scenarios on the labour market are detailed the Impact of the Economic Scenarios section of this document. Key Facts : Labour Demand 2 Labour demand is created by the busess environment, economic circumstances and decisions affectg employers operations. It reflects the number of jobs available to be filled an occupation. The table be cludes the number of jobs, job opengs and job opengs created by Expansion for the Moderate Investment Scenario. It also shows the impact on each of those measures of the High and Low Investment Scenarios compared with the Moderate Investment Scenario.

The statements and assessments of labour market conditions are based on the forecasts and therefore are expected conditions and outcomes relative to the economic conditions used to create the formation. Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology (NOC 2255) 3

4 Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Outlook Occupational Snapshot In BC as whole, about 530 job opengs (from growth and retirements combed) are expected to be created, with: just over 265 the Lower Maland, 30 Northern BC, 75 Southeastern BC, and just under 160 the Vancouver Island Coast region. A little more than half of the job opengs are expected to be created the first 5 years of the forecast. The rate of change from 2020 to 2024 is about 80% of that seen the first 5 years Total Job Opengs: Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology British Columbia High Low Moderate The majority of job opengs are expected to be created from , when demand will grow at close to 2% annually. In the second half of the forecast, the Low Investment Scenario will generate more job opengs than the High or the Moderate. In BC, 36% of job opengs come from Expansion, 44% the first 5 years, with: 44% of job opengs the Lower Maland, 53% the first 5 years, 17% Northern BC, 9% the first 5 years, 23% Southeastern BC, 21% the first 5 years, and 32% the Vancouver Island Coast region, 43% the first 5 years. Key Facts : Labour Supply The labour supply is created by the number of workers who have the skills and/or certifications to be qualified to work each occupation each year, cludg those who are newly traed, have moved from other provces or countries, or have moved from other occupations. The extent of labour demand will affect changes labour supply. Attrition While Attrition contues to be the primary driver of job opengs, its fluence is declg BC as well as the Lower Maland. The declg impact of Attrition the three regions is due part to two thgs: more workers are remag the workforce after the age of 65; and the impact of the baby boom generation out of the workforce is lesseng as more and more have left the workforce. The oldest baby boomers will be ; the youngest turned Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology (NOC 2255) 4

For BC as a whole, labour supply is expected to grow by 160 workers over the 10 years of the forecast, creasg by: 100 the Lower Maland, 5 Northern BC, 20 Southeastern BC, and just under 35 the Vancouver Island Coast region. Base Supply 3 is a measure of the decle the number of workers who are active an occupation at the begng of the forecast and leave due to retirement durg the forecast period. The decle demonstrates the proportion of experienced workers who leave the workforce over the forecast period. Changes to the Base Labour Supply for Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology, Region Base Supply, Decle, % Decle, % British Columbia 1, % % Lower Maland % % North % % Southeast % % Vancouver Island Coast % % New Supply New supply is expected to average less than 100% of job opengs (97%) over the forecast period, but to be er (88%) the first 5 years. This is similar all of the regions. Southeastern BC has a bigger supply lag the first 5 years (82%). 3 Base Supply is calculated by re the average number of unemployed workers for the period from the 2014 supply and then re Attrition from each year of the forecast. In essence, it demonstrates the changes each year to the cohort of workers the first year of the forecast. Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology (NOC 2255) 5

Regionally, these figures are: 62% the Lower Maland, 11% Northern BC, 5% Southeastern BC, and 4% the Vancouver Island Coast region. Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology (NOC 2255) 6

7 Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Outlook Occupational Snapshot from other occupations (that is, workers who are experienced another role and move to the occupation) is forecast to reduce new supply by 2% BC as a whole. This will add 2% to the new supply the Lower Maland. In Northern BC, the new supply of workers is reduced by 15% by workers for other occupations. New supply will be reduced by 18% by workers to other occupations Southeastern BC. Occupational mobility adds 2% of new workers the Vancouver Island Coast region. For BC, workers Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology move to the provce at a rate of 17% of new supply over the 10 years of the forecast. In the Lower Maland, mobility reduces the workforce s new supply by 7%. In Northern BC, mobility adds 30% to the new supply. In Southeastern BC, mobility adds 44% of the workforce s new supply. For the Vancouver Island Coast region, mobility adds 42% of the workforce s new supply. Industry Of the 10 dustries cluded the EGTT study, employees Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology work five 4. About 23% of people Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology work dustries not captured here; close to half work Architectural, Engeerg and Related Services.

8 Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Outlook Occupational Snapshot Impact of the Economic Scenarios The High Investment Scenario adds 15 more job opengs than the Low the first 5 years of the forecast. The Low Investment Scenario adds 5 more job opengs than the High the last half of the forecast, for a net effect of 10 more job opengs (1.5%) the High Scenario. This is similar Northern BC, although the impact is larger 10%. In the Lower Maland, the High scenario outperforms the Low all 10 years. In Southeastern BC and the Vancouver Island Coast regions, the Low Investment Scenario creates more job opengs than the High over the full 10 years of the forecast. The forecast shows that both supply and demand for Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology are mimally affected by the economic scenarios. This holds true for all of the regions Expansion Demand: Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology British Columbia High Low Moderate Both supply and demand for Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology fol somewhat similar paths the High and Moderate Investment Scenarios. Measures by Scenario: British Columbia The table on the next page shows the four APGST measures for workers BC: Rankg, Supply Risk, Immigration Reliance, and 5. Taken together, these dicators provide a quick reference scorecard on the conditions the labour market. 5 There are four metrics used to summarize the formation from the forecast. (1) Rankg: Assesses the tightness of the labour market; i.e., the degree of difficulty an employer may experience tryg to hire to the occupation. 1 = excess supply = Blue (more than 60% higher than normal unemployment) 2 = balanced supply and demand = Green (between 30 and 60% higher than normal unemployment) 3 = nearg a tight labour market = Yel (between 0 and 30% higher than normal unemployment) 4 = excess demand, limited supply = Red (be normal unemployment) (2) Supply Risk: A metric that assesses the extent to which new supply is keepg pace with job opengs. It als for an assessment, relative to the Rankg, of the extent to which conditions are tighteng or looseng the labour market. If the new supply is more than 90% of the job opengs, it is a LOW risk. If the new supply is between 80 and 90% of the job opengs, it is a MEDIUM risk. If the new supply is less than 80% of the job opengs, it is a HIGH risk.

The conditions become tight by year 2, and rema tight for the balance of the forecast period. This implies that employers will face challenges fdg the workers they need the provce as a whole. There is also a substantial reliance on immigration to crease supply, with immigration representg a third of the new supply. In the Lower Maland, the forecast shows an creasgly challengg labour market for Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology. The conditions beg balanced, move to tight by 2018, and (3) Immigration Reliance: Assesses the extent to which the new supply is dependent on Immigration. Given that the levers that control immigration are not the control of employers, this measure provides sight to the potential that the new supply expectations could be affected by changes to immigration policy. If Immigration represents less than 10% of new supply, it is a LOW risk. If Immigration represents between 10 and 25% of new supply, it is a MEDIUM risk. If Immigration represents between 25 and 50% of new supply, it is a HIGH risk. If Immigration represents 50% or more of new supply, it is an EXTREME risk. (4) : Demonstrates the extent to which movement to or out of the provce affects the supply available to fill job opengs. For the regions, it measures movement to and out of the region to other regions BC as well as to other provces.

10 Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Outlook Occupational Snapshot rema tight until the fal year of the forecast period. This implies that employers will beg to have difficulty fdg workers by 2016; these challenges will crease through to The Lower Maland also shows a concerng level of reliance on immigration, relyg on it for more than 50% of the new supply. For Northern BC, the forecast shows a tight labour market from , as does the Vancouver Island Coast region, implyg that employers lookg to fill vacancies these regions will contue to face challenges fdg workers for the whole of the forecast period. Southeastern BC shows a tight labour market for all years of the forecast. This implies that employers lookg to fill vacancies will have challenges fdg workers for the whole of the forecast period. For Northern and Southeastern BC, when normal unemployment 6 is taken to consideration, there are worker shortages at least 2 years. The High Investment Scenario adds 15 more job opengs than the Low the first 5 years of the forecast. The Low Investment Scenario adds 5 more job opengs than the High the last half of the forecast, for a net effect of 10 more job opengs (1.5%) the High Scenario. This is similar Northern BC, though the impact is larger 10%. In the Lower Maland, the High Scenario outperforms the Low all 10 years. In Southeastern BC and the Vancouver Island Coast region, the Low Investment Scenario creates more job opengs than the High over the full 10 years of the forecast. New supply is expected to average under 100% of job opengs (97%) over the forecast period, but be er (88%) the first 5 years. Southeastern BC has a bigger supply lag the first 5 years, at 82%. The number of Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology positions creases by 15% over the 10 year forecast. In Architectural, Engeerg and Related Services, the rate of growth is 20%. In Support Activities for Mg and Oil and Gas Extraction, the rate of growth is 0. In summary, the impacts of the forecast labour market conditions for employers are: 1. Job opengs are created more by Attrition (64%) than by Expansion (36%) BC, the Lower Maland and the Vancouver Island Coast region. This suggests that while the loss of senior workers can create loss of corporate memory and have a negative impact on productivity, the large number of experienced new workers (from Immigration, other provces and other occupations) enterg the occupation is likely to mata productivity and knowledge levels. Job opengs Northern and Southeastern BC are created largely by Attrition (close to 80%). The loss of senior workers can create loss of corporate memory and have a negative impact on productivity. The significant number of experienced new workers enterg the occupation is likely to create additional challenges matag productivity and knowledge levels. 6 The shortage is calculated by assumg that 50% of the normally unemployed will be workg the occupation, effectively cuttg normal unemployment by half. If fewer workers are drawn to the workforce, the shortages are more pronounced. If all the normally unemployed remaed outside of the workforce, Northern BC would show a shortage of workers all occupations and all years.

More than 1 4 workers Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology today will leave the labour market by the end of the forecast period. 3. Half of the workers who add to the supply of Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology are newly traed and new to the workforce. This is three quarters of workers Northern BC of the new workers Southeastern BC and the Vancouver Island Coast region are from other regions or provces. 5. Conditions are challengg all but 2015 and all of the regions. 6. While the overall tightness changes very little, with the labour market remag challengg throughout the forecast, BC and all regions except Southeastern BC show some degree of ease the labour markets the early years of the forecast. 7. Changes the number of jobs and workers available the labour market are driven much more by the base economy than by large scale projects and programs % of workers Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology live the Lower Maland; 8% of these workers are Northern BC; 18% are Southeastern BC; and 31% work the Vancouver Island Coast region. 9. On average, workers Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology have years left their workg lives. This implies a good balance of ages and reasonable opportunities for employers to hire mid career, experienced workers. Strategies and Actions The labour market looks challengg for Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology over the 10 years of the forecast period, BC as a whole as well as each of the four regions. Some strategies to support employers to access workers and enhance productivity this environment clude: Develop, participate or support work experience, co op and ternship programs to help build experience newly traed workers. Develop or leverage existg cultural and immigrant settlement programs to enable immigrant workers to tegrate quickly and effectively to the workplace. Focus on retention; keep workers workg for you; help them stay BC. In a tight labour market, managg succession and buildg comprehensive succession plans and experienced worker retention programs can be key tools for expandg and matag a workforce. Review hirg/job requirements with a view to transferability from other occupations. Technical Occupations Geomatics and Meteorology (NOC 2255) 11
