Document Summary

Yes, there is a skills shortage in canada there is a scarcity of skilled workers in many fields, however managerial, professionals, engineering fields are the ones with the highest shortage rate. It has been said that the canadian workplace training system is underdeveloped. The skills shortage in canada has led to underemployment this is fast becoming a big concern in canada. The skills shortage begins with the choices we make as students in high school. Basic math and science skills learned in school are the foundation for specialized skills required within the working world. Though for those that do gain good grades in high school there isn"t always a place for them in post secondary education. There is only really a skills shortage in canada because we set such a high almost unachievable standard for post secondary that we don"t give everyone an equal chance to succeed in life.
