The Computer Systems Design and Related Services Industry

Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Industry Outlook 2015 2024 The Services Industry The Services Industry comprises establishments that are primarily engaged providg expertise formation technologies through one or more activities, such as writg, modifyg, testg and supportg software to meet the needs of a particular customer, cludg custom video design and development and Internet webpage development; planng and designg computer systems that tegrate hardware, software and communication technologies; on site management and operation of clients' computer and data processg facilities; providg advice the field of formation technologies; and other professional activities. 15 of the 31 EGTT occupations have employment forecast the Services Industry 1. Of those, all are represented the Lower Maland, only 1 is represented the North; 3 Southeastern BC; and 4 the Vancouver Island Coast region. Role of Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists and Technicians the BC Economy Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists and Technicians are practitioners who apply scientific theory and engeerg prciples to solve problems and execute discrete but related tasks many sectors rangg from aerospace, construction, environmental, manufacturg, and mg to formation technology and gas & petroleum. As the professionals tasked with applyg scientific knowledge, theory and novation to solve concrete dustrial problems, they are directly lked with the provce s novation, economic productivity and growth. These practitioners may be categorized to two ma occupational groups, one beg the Engeers and Geoscientists, the second Technologists and Technicians. Practitioners of these groups can be found carryg out a wide range of complex work the engeerg and applied science fields. There are however, general differences the range of roles and responsibilities for each. An Engeer s responsibilities may clude defg problems, conductg and narrowg research, analyzg criteria, fdg and analyzg solutions, and makg design decisions. They often supervise engeerg teams and manage complex engeerg projects. Technologists apply practical, applied science knowledge the management and execution of projects, the design of products and construction of buildgs and structures, and admisterg practical and operational telligence over a diverse range of dustries. They perform work areas such as design, production, marketg, testg, quality assurance, estimatg, spection, supervision, and project management. Technicians also use practical approach based methods to solve technical problems a 1 For details on occupations, please refer to the Occupational Snapshots at www.lmionle.ca.

Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Industry Outlook 2015 2024 diverse range of dustries, performg work such as testg, trouble shootg, spection, calibration, design draftg, data collection and matenance. When analyzg data found the National Occupational Classification System (NOC), Engeers are typically more concentrated an occupation that correlates with their disciple. Whereas, Technologists and Technicians can be found a wider variety of occupations which affects the ability to directly compare occupational data between the two groups. For stance, while Civil Engeers (NOC 2133) show large numbers, a similar number of related Technologists and Technician positions will be spread across the Civil (NOC 2231), Architectural (NOC 2251), Draftg (NOC 2253), Construction Inspector (NOC 2264), and other diverse occupational categories. Whether an Engeer, Geoscientist, Technologist or Technician, the skills to do these jobs require extensive specialized trag. With the rapid pace of technological novation, these professionals and their highly specialized skill sets are great demand. A note on the data: Much of the data this document will be for the occupations that have employment the dustry, but not solely for the subset that are currently workg the dustry. This is due to the limitations of the Industry data available 2. We have cluded both data sets this document to create a greater parallel with the other products this project. Where the data reflect the full occupation, the section or reference will state, for the occupations that have employment the dustry. This creates a fuller picture of the dustry and provides greater depth to the overview.

The first 2 years show the market tighteng. New supply is expected to average 98% of job opengs over the 2015 24 forecast, but to be ser (88%) the first 5 years. In Northern BC, supply lags job opengs at 89% for the full 10 years, which suggests creasg challenges over the 10 year forecast. In BC, the High Investment Scenario will generate a total of about 70 more job opengs than the Low the first 5 years of the forecast. In the second half of the forecast, the Low Investment Scenario generates 20 more job opengs. The net effect is for the High Investment Scenario to generate 50 more job opengs (0.35%) than the Low. Job opengs are created more by Attrition (61%) for the full 10 years of the forecast. Just under 1 4 workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services Industry today will leave the labour market by the end of the forecast period. 2 5 Engeerg Managers will leave the BC workforce over the 10 years of the forecast. More than half of the new supply of workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services are New Entrants newly traed and new to the workforce. 7 10 Computer Engeers (Except Software Engeers and Designers) are New Entrants. Over half of the new workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services are immigrants to Canada. Electrical and Electronics Engeers have 45% of the new supply of workers comg from other countries. Services Industry 3

Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Industry Outlook 2015 2024 In BC, 7% of new workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services come from other occupations. Engeerg Managers have 90% of their new supply come from other occupations. In Southeastern BC and the Vancouver Island Coast region, just under 1 3 new workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Services come from other regions and provces. 17% of the new supply of workers Technical Geomatics and Meteorology BC come from other provces. Changes the number of jobs and workers available the labour market are not driven by large scale projects and programs, but by the normal economic cycle. 85% of workers EGTT occupations the Services Industry live the Lower Maland; 1% Northern BC; 3% Southeastern BC; and 10% the Vancouver Island Coast region. On average, workers 15 occupations that have employment the Services Industry have 12 22 years left their workg lives. Engeerg Managers have less time left their careers (5 15 years Mechanical Engeerg Technologists and Technicians have the most time left, at 16 26 years. BC Labour Market: Three Economic Scenarios The Skills Table models the labour market based on three different economic scenarios to provide a range of plausible possibilities for changes the labour market. The Low Investment, or conservative, scenario cludes projects that are underway or certa, while the Moderate Investment, or expected, scenario adds projects that are planned and likely to proceed. The High Investment, or optimistic, scenario adds projects that have been announced but with more distant start dates or more regulatory approvals needed to proceed. The analysis that fols is based on the Moderate Investment Scenario. The impacts of the Low and High Investment Scenarios on the labour market are detailed the Impact of the Economic Scenarios section of this document. Services Industry 4

Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Industry Outlook 2015 2024 For the 15 occupations the Services Industry BC, 2,620 job opengs (growth and retirements combed) are expected to be created, with: just under 2,475 the Lower Maland, just under 15 Northern BC, 100 Southeastern BC, and just under 35 the Vancouver Island Coast region. 600 500 400 300 200 100 100 200 300 Total Job Opengs Industry: Computer Systems Design and Related Services, All EGTT, British Columbia High Moderate Low The majority of job opengs will be generated the first 5 years of the forecast. While all three scenarios fol the same trend, the Low Investment Scenario outperforms the High most of the second half of the forecast period. In BC, Expansion creates 39% of job opengs, 44% the first 5 years of the forecast, with: 46% of job opengs the Lower Maland, 54% the first 5 years, 43% Northern BC, 71% the first 5 years, 32% of job opengs Southeastern BC, 41% the first 5 years, positions decle the Vancouver Island Coast region, mostly due to decles the first few years of the forecast. Key Facts 2015 2024: Labour Supply The labour supply is created by the number of workers who have the skills and/or certifications to be qualified to work each occupation each year, cludg those who are newly traed, have moved from other provces or countries, or have moved from other occupations. Attrition Attrition contues to be the primary driver of job opengs, although its impact has decled from previous forecasts, particularly the Lower Maland. This decle is attributed to two thgs: more workers are remag the workforce after the age of 65; and the impact of the baby boom generation out of the workforce is lesseng as more and more have left. The oldest baby boomers will be 70 2016; the youngest turned 50 2014. Services Industry 7

Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Industry Outlook 2015 2024 For the 15 occupations the Services Industry BC, Attrition will average about 160 job opengs each year. Stated another way, the Services Industry will lose 160 experienced workers every year to Attrition alone, with: just over 130 the Lower Maland, less than 5 Northern BC, just over 5 Southeastern BC, just under 20 the Vancouver Island Coast region, 90% of all Industrial Engeerg and Manufacturg Technologists and Technicians job opengs comg from from Attrition (77% for Draftg Technologists and Technicians), and the Vancouver Island Cost region, where positions decle, all job opengs beg created by Attrition. On average, workers the 15 occupations that have Employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services Industry are 43 years of age. In the 15 occupations that have employment the Services Industry, labour supply is expected to grow by about 7,815 workers BC as a whole over the 10 years of the forecast, with: just over 7, 205 the Lower Maland, 50 Northern BC, just under 250 Southeastern BC, and 305 the Vancouver Island Coast region. Base Supply 4 is a measure of the decle the number of workers who are active an occupation at the begng of the forecast and subsequently leave due to retirement over the forecast period.

This suggests that the labour market for the 15 occupations that have employment the Services Industry could be very challengg, especially the early years. 4 Base Supply is calculated by re the average number of unemployed workers for the period from the 2014 supply, then re Attrition from each year of the forecast. In essence, it demonstrates the changes each year to the cohort of workers the first year of the forecast. Services Industry 9

In Northern BC, workers to other occupations reduces new supply by 7%. In Southeastern BC, workers from other occupations reduce new supply by just under 1%. from other occupations add 5% to new supply the Vancouver Island Coast region. Engeerg Managers have more than 90% of their new supply come from other occupations. Computer Engeers (Except Software Engeers and Designers) lose close to 3% of their new supply to other occupations. In BC, workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Services Industry to the provce add a margal amount (under 0.5%) to new supply. In the Lower Maland, mobility reduces the workforce by about 5% of new supply. In Northern BC, worker mobility creases new supply by 12%. The crease is 31% of new supply Southeastern BC, 32% the Vancouver Island Coast region. 17% of the new supply of workers the Technical Geomatics and Meteorology occupation come from other provces. Impact of the Economic Scenarios In BC the High Investment Scenario will generate a total of about 70 more job opengs than the Low the first 5 years of the forecast. In the second half of the forecast, the Low Investment Scenario generates 20 more job opengs. The net effect is for the High Investment Scenario to generate 50 more job opengs (0.35%) than the Low. The forecast shows that both the supply and demand the 15 occupations that have employment the Services Industry are not substantially affected by the economic scenarios. Services Industry 11

Labour Market Condition Metrics The table on the next page shows the four APGST measures 6 for the 15 occupations that have employment the Services Industry BC. Taken together, these dicators provide a quick reference scorecard on the conditions the Services Industry labour market. 6 There are four metrics used to summarize the formation from the 2015 2024 forecast. (1) APGST Tightness Rankg: Assesses the tightness of the labour market; i.e., the degree of difficulty an employer may experience tryg to hire to the occupation. 1 = excess supply = Blue (more than 60% higher than normal unemployment) 2 = balanced supply and demand = Green (between 30 and 60% higher than normal unemployment) 3 = nearg a tight labour market = Yel (between 0 and 30% higher than normal unemployment) 4 = excess demand, limited supply = Red (be normal unemployment) (2) Supply Risk: A metric that assesses the extent to which new supply is keepg pace with job opengs. It als for an assessment, relative to the Rankg, of the extent to which conditions are tighteng or looseng the labour market. If the new supply is more than 90% of the job opengs, it is a LOW risk. If the new supply is between 80 and 90% of the job opengs, it is a MEDIUM risk. If the new supply is less than 80% of the job opengs, it is a HIGH risk. (3) Immigration Reliance: Assesses the extent to which the new supply is dependent on Immigration. Given that the levers that control immigration are not the control of employers, this measure provides sight to the potential that the new supply expectations could be affected by changes to immigration policy. If Immigration represents less than 10% of new supply, it is a LOW risk. If Immigration represents between 10 and 25% of new supply, it is a MEDIUM risk. If Immigration represents between 25 and 50% of new supply, it is a HIGH risk. If Immigration represents 50% or more of new supply, it is an EXTREME risk. (4) Mobility: Demonstrates the extent to which movement to or out of the provce affects the supply available to fill job opengs. For the regions, it measures movement to and out of the region to other regions BC as well as to other provces.

This suggests that the labour market for the 15 occupations that have employment the Services Industry could be very challengg, especially the early years. In Northern BC, supply lags job opengs at 89% for the full 10 years, which suggests creasg challenges over the 10 year forecast. In BC, the High Investment Scenario will generate a total of about 70 more job opengs than the Low the first 5 years of the forecast. In the second half, the Low Investment Scenario generates 20 more job opengs. The net effect is for the High Investment Scenario to generate 50 more job opengs (0.35%) than the Low. Services Industry 13

Engeers, Geoscientists, Technologists & Technicians (EGTT) Industry Outlook 2015 2024 In summary, the impacts of the forecast labour market conditions for employers are: 1. Job opengs are created more by Attrition (61%) for the full 10 years of the forecast. 2. Just under 1 4 workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services Industry today will leave the labour market by the end of the forecast period. 2 5 Engeerg Managers will leave the BC workforce over the 10 years of the forecast. 3. More than half of the new supply the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services are New Entrants newly traed and new to the workforce. 7 10 Computer Engeers (Except Software Engeers and Designers) are New Entrants. 4. More than half of the new workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services are immigrants to Canada. Electrical and Electronics Engeers have 45% of the new supply of workers comg from other countries. This high reliance on immigration to meet new supply needs creates risk for employers, as the levers that control the f of immigration are not their control. 5. In BC, 7% of new workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services come from other occupations. Engeerg Managers have 90% of their new supply come from other occupations. 6. In Southeastern BC and the Vancouver Island Coast region, just under a third of new workers the 15 occupations that have employment the Services come from other regions and provces. 7. 17% of the new supply of workers the Technical Geomatics and Meteorology occupation BC come from other provces. 8. Conditions are challengg from 2017 onward all occupations and all regions. 9. Changes the number of jobs and workers available labour market are not driven by large scale projects and programs, but by the normal economic cycle. 10. 85% of workers EGTT occupations the Services Industry live the Lower Maland; 1% Northern BC; 3% Southeastern BC; and 10% the Vancouver Island Coast region. 11. On average, workers 15 occupations that have employment the Computer Systems Design and Related Services Industry have 12 22 years left their workg lives. This implies a balance of ages and reasonable opportunities for employers to hire mid career, experienced workers. Engeerg Managers have less time left their careers (5 15 years).
