- Meeting Heat Pump Demand: Workforce, Growth, and Policy Gaps
Heat pumps offer major benefits in carbon reduction, energy efficiency, and grid flexibility—but rapid market growth is exposing serious gaps in workforce capacity and industry readiness. This session draws on HRAI research to explore supply-demand imbalances, policy levers from governments and utilities, and practical strategies to build the skilled labor force needed to support Canada’s electrification goals.
