The Durham Workforce Authority has joined the Canadian Queer Chamber of Commerce as part of its commitment to inclusive, evidence-based workforce development. This membership aligns with DWA’s research strategy, informed by community consultation, and supports labour market analysis that better reflects the diversity of Durham Region’s workforce.
As 2025 comes to a close, Durham’s labour market reflects a year of transition, insight, and collaboration. From the Durham Workforce Data Walk to ongoing research and analysis, this year reinforced the importance of using local data to support better decisions for job seekers, employers, and service providers across the region.
We’ve rebranded! The Durham Workforce Authority has a bold new look—but our mission hasn’t changed. We’re still your trusted source for hyper-local labour market data, now with a refreshed identity that better reflects our passion, values, and commitment to Durham Region. Learn more about what’s new, what’s staying the same, and how we’re helping our community thrive.
