  1. ® Apprenticeships:The Secret to Success

  2. Curriculum Expectations: • compare a variety of postsecondary learning options (e.g., apprenticeship, college, distance education, on-the-job training, private training, university) and identify those most suited to them based on their personal interests, competencies, and aspirations • identify and describe a variety of learning opportunities for secondary school students, including secondary school courses, community-based learning (e.g., school–work transition programs, community involvement, work experience, volunteering, cooperative education), and co-curricular activities

  3. Have you heard? Skills shortages are already being experienced in some sectors and regions.

  4. Future Forecasts “By 2020, Canada will be  facing labour shortage of  nearly 1 million workers.” “Skills shortages pose a serious threat to the competitiveness of Canadian industries and is likely to get worse.” Source: Conference Board of Canada, 2001

  5. The Workforce is Aging In 2021: In 2001: RESULT: Employers will have increasing difficulty to find workers Between 1987 and 1990, 29% of people retired before the age of 60. Between 1997 and 2000,that rate grew to 43% 48% of Canada’s aging workforce are eligible to retire in the next 5 to 10 years Source: Statistics Canada

  6. The “Skills” Gap • If not addressed within the next 2-3 years, this ‘skills gap’ will have a profound impact on Ontario’s economy • Ontario is currently experiencing critical labour shortages in certain economic sectors • thousands of highly skilled workers will retire from the industrial, service, transportation and construction sectors in the next 10 years • young people are not aware of the rewarding careers in the skilled trades, even though many are unemployed or under-employed

  7. Adding to the Problem… Perceptions of Skilled Trades are Negative • There are deep-rooted, negative perceptions about apprenticeship and careers in the skilled trades. • There is a lack of awareness about the opportunities and benefits in skilled trades and apprenticeship. • Apprenticeship is not viewed as a viable post-secondary education option by youth. • Too few parents and educators are encouraging youth to consider apprenticeship or careers in the skilled trades due to lack of awareness or negative perception of this career path. Only 28% of youth have indicated that their parents have encouraged them to pursue a career in skilled trades. Only 14% of youth indicated that their guidance/career counsellors have encouraged them to pursue a career in skilled trades.

  8. What is an Apprenticeship?

  9. Apprenticeship is a Partnership Apprenticeship is a legal agreement between an apprentice, an employer and the Provincial/Territorial Apprenticeship Authority to provide the necessary skills and training to an apprentice in a specific trade.

  10. What is an Apprenticeship? • A Three way partnership and agreement among: • An individual wanting to learn a skilled trades or occupation • An employer who needs skilled employees • The government who handles trade standards, regulations, exams, certification, registration and monitors the on-the-job training

  11. An Apprenticeship… • is a certified post-secondary education and training program • 85 - 90% of all apprenticeship training takes place in the workplace, where an apprentice learns the skills of a trade from an experienced journeyperson • program lasts for 2-5 years and qualifies people for employment in the skilled trades sectors • uses Math, English and Science and an apprentice likes using applied technology

  12. What is Apprenticeship (cont’d) • Unlike others who pay a high tuition fee for post-secondary education / training at a college or university, apprentices “earn while they learn” • Apprenticeship training leads to a wide variety of rewarding careers in the industrial, transportation, construction and service sectors of the provincial and national economy • Apprenticeship training is the school-work destination of choice for experiential (“hands-on”) learners

  13. Many pathways for working in trades and technology

Facts for Parents and Students: • 60% of Ontario’s Grade 9 students do not go on to complete either a college diploma or a university degree • many of these students enter the job market with limited employability skills • a large number of high school graduates end up in low-paying, part-time (or seasonal) jobs • the levels of youth un(der)employment and homelessness are serious problems
