I just mentioned the change of culture necessary for the trades to be considered as good jobs for young Canadians. I added that that adjustment should probably be made first by students. But especially, the education system also has to be receptive to workers' needs and be more flexible. I see that employers mainly consider community colleges as the most receptive to their needs.
I believe that the manufacturing industry's document "Manufacturing 20/20" contains tables that provide a lot of information on what's lacking in education according to industry employers. These are shortcomings that must be corrected.
I see there's mainly a lack of correspondence between occupations. That's always the case in a modern economy, because you can't predict all impacts in every sector and on all occupations. However, I believe there are too many workers in some sectors and not enough in others. Having more information on job opportunities can help us, but students have to respond to that information.
