well as in the economic aspects as well which helps them to expand in the
market (Grills, 2013).
 Due to many industries in Kelowna, there is shortage of skilled workers.

it is the need for the company to maintain relations so that they can operate
effectively in the market even if the political distress took place in the
market (Tedesco, 2016).
 . The economic service that the commission provides to the company
assists them in making innovation in the process and providing them with
the economic opportunities for the growth of the company in the market
and enable them to achieve success in the process (Cochrane & Bekele,
2018).

choose construction as their field and there were so many industries in Kelowna
which need skilled workers to provide best services in the market. Moreover, it is
very important for the company to maintain good relations with the government to

get support so that they can expand their line of business. If company want to hire
skilled workers, they should be aware of the economic trends due to rapid
changes which was creating problem for them as they don’t have proper system
to track all these things.
