Finding your career path can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, especially if there seem to be few vacancies in that field. Thankfully, the provincial government keeps track of which industries are looking to expand their workforce.

The forecast helps employers and industries develop strategic workforce plans and supports educational institutions in developing programs that are more responsive to labour market demands.
For 2023-2025, the province identified five occupations as being the highest in demand:
- Veterinarians
- Audiologists and speech-language pathologists
- Physiotherapists
- Nurse practitioners
- Medical laboratory assistants and related technical occupations
- Pharmacy technical assistants and pharmacy assistants

Various careers in health, natural and applied sciences, as well as sales and service occupations account for most disciplines in the high-demand and moderately high-demand jobs.
