Governments Should Work Together to Ensure Success of Canada Job Grant: Career College Sector
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/25/13 -- The National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) is calling on all levels of government to work together in order to ensure that the Canada Job Grant is successfully created and implemented in order to help unemployed and underemployed Canadians as well as employers.
"The Canada Job Grant will be a crucial tool to link employers and Canadians seeking meaningful work opportunities," said Serge Buy, NACC's Chief Executive Officer. "We call on federal, provincial and territorial governments to work together to help implement this innovative program, one that truly benefits workers and employers and helps to close the skills gap in Canada."
NACC recognizes the leadership of the federal government on this front, particularly former Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Diane Finley and current Minister of Employment and Social Development Jason Kenney.
NACC has long advocated for the recognition and support of the type of short-term training provided in career colleges. In April of this year, NACC announced the Canadian Forum Linking Employers and Educators (CFLEE), an initiative designed to promote partnerships between employers and educators, possibly using the Canada Job Grant.
Since the creation of CFLEE was announced, with several articles appearing in various publications heralding NACC's willingness to work with employers, a number of companies of all sizes have indicated interest in this type of partnership.
"While we understand and respect that all governments have their own agendas, priorities and decision-making process, we view this initiative as a groundbreaking one that can address one of Canada's important problems: the skills gap," said Mr. Buy.
