CAHR’s formation was a result of
unprecedented consensus from the Canadian
Automotive Partnership Council (CAPC)
to act collectively to ensure the future competitiveness
of the Canadian automotive industry.
As Sector Council for the automotive manufacturing industry,
CAHR was formally established on April 22, 2004 to develop
a human resource strategy, and to address the current
and future labour market issues for the industry on a
national basis.
Embodying
the principles of partnerships, CAHR represents the
collective interests and diverse perspectives of key
stakeholders and audiences in the Canadian automotive
manufacturing sector, and is a vital conduit to and
from critical decision makers.
CAHR’s strategic direction and activities are based
on the ultimate goal of a globally competitive and profitable
Canadian automotive manufacturing industry.
Our Mandate:
To be a national leader and supporter
of key initiatives dealing with the current and future
development of skilled human resources for the automotive
manufacturing industry by:
- Providing a forum to exchange information
among stakeholders and audiences;
- Identifying and addressing strategic human resource
requirements (leadership, skills and innovation) and
labour market solutions;
- Maintaining effective links with
industry stakeholders and audiences, and collectively
carry out decisions and activities of common interest;
and
- Promoting and enhancing the value
of the automotive manufacturing sector to all stakeholders
and audiences.
Our Mission:
The Council initiates, facilitates
and supports collaborative action by industry, labour,
educators and governments to address strategic human
resource requirements at all levels of the automotive
manufacturing sector.
Our Vision:
A differentiated and competitive Canadian
automotive manufacturing industry achieved through the
exemplary attraction, development, retention and management
of its workforce.
