Energy Efficiency Day

A guide to Canada’s thriving clean energy sector

 October 2, 2024

You can jumpstart your future in Canada’s green economy

Canada’s energy industry will see the creation of 2.2 million clean energy jobs.

From contractors to architects, engineers, tradespeople, clean technologists, researchers, and public relations, this is an inside look into the diverse future of Canada’s thriving green economy.

Whether you are a new or mid-career professional, discover a sector of 466,000 Canadians working in energy efficiency.

Get inspired 

A Day in the Life series showcases a range of professionals paving the way for Canada’s $126 billion energy efficiency sector.

Our trailblazers have cutting-edge careers in energy efficiency. Check out their motivational stories and picture yourself in the sector. 

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is integral to building Canada’s green economy. Businesses, consulting services, utilities and renewables have identified the need for recruiting more women, Indigenous people, racialized Canadians, youth, and LGBTQ+ people to the workforce. 200,000 new energy efficiency jobs will be created by 2030. Therefore, making our workforce more inclusive will help create a more robust market where no one is left behind.

Efficiency Canada recently conducted a survey that was targeted to employers in both the private and public sectors who are actively recruiting for energy efficiency jobs.

The result of this survey helps us anchor more skilled Canadians in meaningful and long-standing careers.
