| dc.description.abstract | Contributions & Implications: This research project offers actionable insights for policymakers, educators, employers, and industry associations seeking to design inclusive workforce strategies. The findings demonstrate that equity-deserving groups are not disengaged from Canada’s low-carbon energy transition; they are actively seeking to lead it. However, without intentional reforms in funding models, education pathways, hiring practices, and workplace cultures, the sector risks reproducing historical inequities—undermining both social legitimacy and labour-force resilience. | |
