The employment outlook will be moderate for Electrical and electronics engineering technologists and technicians (NOC 22310) in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment growth will lead to a moderate number of new positions.
• Not many positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

Employment in this occupation depends in large part on the demand for machinery and equipment with computer and electronic parts and trends that affect computer and electronic product manufacturing.

After a significant decline over several years due to highly competitive markets, the sector is resuming growth thanks to the recovery of exports to the United States and efforts to diversify into new markets.

Despite the disruptions over the past couple of years, the outlook remains positive. The sector is benefiting from recovering business and jobs that were lost during the pandemic.

While the employment outlook for this occupation is good at the provincial level, it will be moderate in the regions of Bas-Saint-Laurent, Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean, Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec.
