As part of a push to boost interest in the skilled trades, high school students will soon need to earn a tech credit in order to graduate, Education Minister Stephen Lecce has announced.“By requiring students to take at least one technological education credit in high school, we are opening up doors and creating new pathways to good jobs in STEM and the skilled trades,” Lecce said in a written statement.
, given the labour shortage in the province with 100,000 unfilled jobs — a number that is expected to skyrocket given the demands as well as the demographics of the sector. Labour Minister Monte McNaughton has previously said the province is looking for ways to encourage more females to enter the skilled trades, given they comprise less than 30 per cent of that workforce.
“This mandatory graduation requirement means a brighter future — not just for women and girls — but for our entire province.”
