THEME THREE - Aligning Postsecondary Education Programming to Labour Market Demands
Canada has world-class postsecondary institutions educating our future labour force. These institutions provide a platform to ensure postsecondary students graduate with the right mix of knowledge, skills and work-related experience required by the labour market. Partnerships between employers and postsecondary institutions are one way to achieve this alignment.
Provincial and territorial governments understand the challenges experienced by today’s youth and the importance of aligning the postsecondary system with the needs of the labour market. We have invested in a variety of postsecondary programs that combine education with on-the-job training, ensure students have access to labour market information, or provide targeted fi nancial aid for students who are seeking employment in high-growth industries. The promising practices profi led under this theme highlight such initiatives.
