We strongly believe that PWO is the future of airport jobs and the fastest route to our industry and airport recovery. A strong and resilient aviation sector is critical to Canada’s economy.

Background

From the onset of COVID-19, we witnessed first-hand the devastating impacts of the pandemic on our airport, our workforce, and our industry.

We moved rapidly, in collaboration with the Toronto Airport Workers Council (TAWC) to create Pearson Works! Online, a virtual resource centre dedicated to support the employee and employer communities at Toronto Pearson.

PWO started by addressing the immediate supports and career counselling needs of the airport employees impacted by the pandemic. Shortly afterwards, we moved to offering relevant training and professional opportunities for workers to take advantage of.

We are currently building a comprehensive workforce strategy for Toronto Pearson. The support from the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development will allow us to continue and expand our work further.
