Pathways: Our Common Goal Pathways is a part of the Ministry of Education’s Student Success Initiative, which is transforming our system We want to prepare our children for the future We want our students to find success and joy in their learning throughout high school and beyond We want to see our students pursue a pathway that relates to their interests, skills and abilities Our job is to provide you with the information you need, and these opportunities for students

Canadian & Ontario Economy • Aging workforce because of baby boom and projected mass retirement-Ontario is projecting a 1. 8 million shortfall in availability of workers in the next 20 years • Youth unemployment rate (15. 4%) in Ontario was twice as high as provincial unemployment rates (6. 1%) in 2014, began rising in 2002 prior to recession • Jobs Without People, People Without Jobs – Ontario report on the mismatch of skills and jobs – “The Skills Gap”

The “Skills Gap” • Contradictory pattern in Ontario’s labour market: there are province-wide shortages in some sectors despite an overall surplus of labour supply • Acute employee shortages in specific industries: • • Manufacturing Health Care Professional, Scientific and Technical Services Financial Professions • Ontarians are well-educated, but the Skills Gap indicates they are not necessarily best educated in the most employable fields and occupations

25 Occupations Showing Signs of Skills Shortages • Managers in Engineering, Architecture, Science & Info Systems • Optometrists, Chiropractors and Other Health Diagnosing and Treating Professionals • Managers in Health, Education, Social and Community Services • Pharmacists, Dietitians and Nutritionists • Managers in Construction and Transportation • Nurse Supervisors and Registered Nurses • Auditors, Accountants and Investment Professionals • Human Resources and Business Service Professionals • Professional Occupations in Natural and Applied Sciences • Physical Science Professionals • Life Science Professionals • Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineers • Other Engineers • Professional Occupations in Health • Physicians, Dentists and Veterinarians • Therapy and Assessment Professionals • Technical and Related Occupations in Health • Medical Technologists and Technicians (Except Dental Health) • Technical Occupations in Dental Health Care • Other Technical Occupations In Health Care (Except Dental) • Psychologists, Social Workers, Counsellors, Clergy and Probation Officers • Supervisors, Mining, Oil and Gas • Underground Miners, Oil and Gas Drillers and Related Workers • Supervisors in Manufacturing • Supervisors, Processing Occupations Source: Benjamin Tal, CIBC Economist, 2012

Job Growth by Educational Training Requirements 2008 – 2013 • Increases in college/apprenticeship (29%) and university (22%) • Decreases in high school education (29%) and less than high school (11%)

High School to Post-Secondary or Work Destinations 6% pursue an Apprenticeship Destination of Students after 4 or 5 Years of High School 20% go to College 34% go to University 40% go to Work 15% with OSSD 25% without OSSD Source: Dr. Alan King, Fall 2009

Pathways Between Post-Secondary Education • 44% of students enrolled in college in 2012 -2013 have previous post-secondary experience (apprenticeship, university or an alternate college diploma) • 14. 5% of those applicants were university graduates • 65% of college applicants in 2014 -2015 were not applying directly from high school • Over 25% of college students continue their education 6 months after graduation

Valuing Post-Secondary Destinations • Apprenticeship: Leads to skilled trades, often high-paying jobs, students earn and learn (OSSD and OYAP recommended) • College: Programs provide training for specific careers, connected closely to industry (OSSD) • Community: Primarily for students taking non-credit granting working towards a Certificate of Accomplishment, transition to the community for volunteer work, paid employment, recreational programs, etc. • University: Undergraduate programs often lead to graduate degrees to train for professions, such as teacher, lawyer, doctor(OSSD including 6 Grade 12 U or M courses) • Workplace: Roughly half our students go directly to work, may continue training on the job or return to school
