Bow Valley College - Notice of Award - Ernst & Young LLP–(Labour Market Study)

Bow Valley College has awarded a contract to Ernst & Young LLP to conduct a comprehensive labour market study in support of the college's 2026 capital funding submission to the Government of Alberta. The primary objective of this engagement is to update and validate labour market data and identify in-demand skills across several specialized healthcare and paramedical fields, including Biomedical Engineering Technology, Massage Therapy, Medical Device Reprocessing, Medical Radiation Technology, and Optician-related services. The scope of work involves a detailed analysis of Alberta's healthcare and social assistance sector to update key indicators such as employment trends, labour force characteristics, and educational profiles. This data will be used to justify funding requests by providing an accurate picture of current employment by occupation and evolving industry needs within the province.
