Jan 2016 - Oct 2020 Thanks to our partners, we have supported: the creation of 9 , 637 jobs at maturity (direct, indirect and induced) the generation of $368.87 M in annual payroll at maturity $308.85 M capital investment at maturity We launched a new portal to share exclusive resources and raise the bar on how we engage with our investors. We've developed tools such as an impact statement to make sure each YW investor can see, dollar for dollar, how their investment is impacting the local economy. Market intelligence Our Market Intelligence team continues to delve into economic forecasting and data mining. The team provides targeted, comparative data and detail on Winnipeg's advantages and insights that are critical to attracting or convincing businesses to expand here, versus other cities. Recently, it developed a series of dashboards from site selection to talent gaps that can help attract more businesses and people to our city. Talent and workforce development In 2019, YW created its new Talent team in response to local company feedback that access to top talent was a key impediment to their growth. The team supports and advises local companies on how to attract and retain the talent they need, now and for years to come. The team leverages best practices from around the world, such as the launch of new international talent recruitment missions to help local companies tap into global talent pools (Argentina 2019 and Ukraine Virtual 2020). Our online talent hub also provides companies with resources and compelling marketing collateral. These include high-quality videos, tailored images and data to help them attract and retain top talent in Winnipeg. We've come a long way and have made progress, but we're not done. We've strengthened the foundation on which YW was created, with a view to build an even stronger and better Winnipeg over the next five years. 24 TH E WINNIPEG INVE STOR
