Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS)

The Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS) is a tool used by Canada to forecast future labour market needs. It analyzes current job trends, economic factors, and demographic shifts to predict which occupations will grow or decline in the coming years. This helps individuals, students, employers, and policymakers make informed decisions about education, training, and employment strategies. Essentially, COPS provides a forward-looking view of the job market, guiding efforts to ensure that skills and workforce supply match future opportunities effectively.
