As a research assistant on the FOCAL project, I aided in gathering, analyzing, and presenting labour market and industry data for the automotive sector as it undergoes the landmark electric vehicle transition.Analyzing and interpreting qualitative and quantitative data gathered from censuses, labour unions, industry reports and government agencies, I created occupational profiles for in demand automotive occupations. I assisted in the creation of Skills Transferability Matrices for occupations in the automotive industry, a tool which could be used to measure related attributes between occupations for the purpose of upskilling, or transitioning to new roles. Towards the end of the project, I had an opportunity to write a report exploring the relationship and changing industry dynamics between automotive manufacturing, repair and maintenance, and wholesale parts dealers, and the associated impacts that an electric transition would have.
