THEME TWO - Aligning Secondary School Programming to Labour Market Demands
In today’s competitive labour market, it is important for students to understand their education, skills and training options at a young age. Provincial and territorial governments also recognize that knowledge of labour market opportunities and skills requirements can support career choices. Secondary schools provide an opportunity to deliver information to students through their families, teachers and counselors. Another opportunity to support high school students is through a variety of hands-on experiential learning options.
We have invested in a range of innovative initiatives that provide high school students with labour market information and an understanding of pathways to employment. Additionally, we have invested in programming that allows graduates to immediately enter the labour market. The promising practices profi led under this theme highlight such initiatives.
