About JPC

The Hamilton Jobs Prosperity Collaborative (JPC) is working to foster a more prosperous, resilient and healthy community, through the strategic growth of jobs.  While the JPC doesn’t create jobs, business creates jobs, everything the JPC does is designed to help create an effective environment  for the creation of jobs by business. 

With a broad, representative membership, the JPC has fast become the vehicle through which organizations in Hamilton can collaborate to solve job challenges. The JPC fully recognizes that many key institutions and organizations all have a role to play in job creation and retention, skills alignment and education, and other employment issues critical to economic prosperity. It is through participation from government, education, not-for-profits and industry that the commitment to the jobs agenda is demonstrated. JPC provides the forum for all who have a stake in Hamilton employment base and brings together the leadership for the benefit of the broader City of Hamilton.
