Ontario is continuing to quietly but aggressively build the foundation of its advanced manufacturing and EV economy.

In June 2026, the province announced new investments through the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund, supporting projects that strengthen Ontario’s domestic supply chain for materials like lithium, copper, and other inputs essential to EVs, batteries, and advanced manufacturing.

While the focus is often on mining and extraction, the real impact runs much deeper.

These investments directly fuel demand across:
* Mechanical, industrial, and automation engineering
* Millwrights, electricians, welders, and machinists
* Construction and industrial maintenance roles
* Robotics, controls, and advanced manufacturing specialists

As Ontario works to localize and de-risk its supply chains, more value-added production is staying in-province, which means more skilled labour is required at every stage of manufacturing.

At the same time, we continue to see a widening gap between industrial investment and workforce availability. Capital is moving quickly. Talent pipelines are not.

The organizations that will stay ahead in this environment are those that treat workforce strategy as seriously as production strategy, investing in training, apprenticeship pathways, retention, and long-term capability building.

Because in advanced manufacturing right now, the constraint is no longer demand or investment. It’s skilled people.

Every career has a starting point.

We asked a few members of our team a simple question:

“Why did you join itec?”

Their answers were all different, but one thing was consistent:

Opportunity.

As we continue to grow, we’re excited to welcome the next generation of recruiters and account managers to the team.

After more than three decades in recruitment supporting advanced manufacturing and engineering organizations, one observation continues to stand out: technology may drive capability, but people drive performance.

While many manufacturers are making significant investments in technology, automation, and process improvement, one challenge continues to stand in the way of growth: talent. The equipment may be state-of-the-art, but without the right people to design, operate, maintain, and optimize these systems, even the best technology cannot deliver its full potential.

The organizations achieving the greatest success aren't just investing in equipment and systems. They're investing in the talent that makes those investments worthwhile. In short, the future of advanced manufacturing will be shaped not only by innovation, but by an organization's ability to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent.

June is shaping up to be a defining month for robotics and “physical AI” in Ontario, and it’s not just a tech story; it’s a workforce story for manufacturing, engineering, and skilled trades leaders.

Across the province, we’re seeing a clear signal: Ontario is accelerating its position as a global hub for robotics talent, applied AI, and advanced automation.

At the centre of it all is the Canada Cup of Robotics at Canada Games Park, hosted in partnership with Brock University. From June 13–20, more than 190+ youth robotics teams from 30 countries are competing in complex engineering challenges like “Decode” and “Unearthed.” For many students, this is a first real step into the same problem-solving environments found on modern factory floors and automation lines.

The pipeline doesn’t stop there. Windsor-Essex’s Woodshed Elementary robotics team is advancing to the international stage, reinforcing something employers often underestimate: the robotics talent pipeline in Ontario is starting earlier and scaling faster than ever.

On the research and applied innovation side, Ontario Tech University is pushing forward human-centred AI robotics. Dr. Patrick Hung’s work in social robotics explores how intelligent machines can support mental health, accessibility, and human interaction, areas that will increasingly intersect with workplace design and employee wellbeing.

At the same time, real-world impact is already here. In Guelph, a family’s access to a robotic exoskeleton is a reminder that robotics is no longer theoretical; it’s changing mobility, independence, and care outcomes across Ontario.

Looking ahead, Toronto Tech Week highlighted the rise of physical AI and hardware-first startups across the Waterloo–Toronto corridor, while ROSCon 2026 is expected to bring the global robotics development community to Ontario this fall.

For manufacturing and engineering leaders, the signal is clear: This is no longer just about automation adoption. It’s about competing for, developing, and retaining the next generation of robotics-enabled talent.

Ontario isn’t just building robots. It’s building the workforce that will run them. PhysicalAI

RESHORING SERIES | Part 3 of 3

We’ve talked about reshoring strategy and automation. But here’s the factor determining whether ex*****on succeeds: talent.

If reshoring is slowing anywhere, it’s not strategy or investment; it’s ex*****on on the floor.

-Capital is being deployed.
-Automation is being installed.
-Plans are in motion.

But one constraint continues to surface: Talent availability.

Skilled trades, maintenance, and technical roles are in high demand across every manufacturer at the same time:

-Millwrights and electricians
-CNC and machining specialists
-Automation and controls talent
-Production leaders with modern manufacturing experience

The challenge isn’t just a shortage; it’s competition over the same limited talent pool.

Which means reshoring success is no longer defined by intent or investment. It’s defined by whether workforce planning is aligned with operational strategy from the very beginning. And that’s where the real difference is made in advanced manufacturing today. If you’re exploring reshoring or scaling operations, workforce planning needs to be part of the strategy from day one, not an afterthought.

Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we work, and in advanced manufacturing, engineering, and skilled trades, the impact is already being felt. From predictive maintenance and robotics to smarter production planning and enhanced quality control, AI is creating new efficiencies across the industry. But while technology evolves, one thing remains clear: People will still be at the centre of innovation.

The future workforce will require:
-Skilled trades professionals who can work alongside advanced technologies
-Engineers and technical talent who can solve increasingly complex problems
-Continuous learning and upskilling to keep pace with change
-Human skills like adaptability, critical thinking, and collaboration

The question isn’t whether AI will replace the workforce, it’s how organizations prepare their workforce to evolve with it.

For employers, this means workforce planning, training, and attracting talent with both technical expertise and the agility to grow with emerging technologies.

For candidates, it’s an opportunity to build future-ready skills in industries that continue to evolve.

What impact do you think AI will have on manufacturing, engineering, or skilled trades over the next 5 years?

RESHORING SERIES | Part 2 of 3
If reshoring is the strategy, automation is quickly becoming the requirement.

As companies bring production closer to home, they immediately face tighter labour markets, higher operating costs, and greater pressure to perform.

The response is predictable - increased investment in automation:

-Robotics and cobots on the floor
-AI-driven quality inspection
-Connected production systems
-Data-led maintenance and planning

But here’s where many strategies miss the mark: Automation doesn’t reduce workforce needs; it changes them.

The modern manufacturing environment requires a different skill profile: operators who understand systems, technicians who can troubleshoot in real time, and teams capable of managing increasingly integrated production environments.

The question is no longer “How much can we automate?” It’s “Do we have the workforce capable of running what we’re building?” If you’re working through reshoring or automation planning, let’s connect and talk about the talent reality behind it. https://www.itecgroup.ca/contact
