GetAssist Helps Bridge the Gap in the Skilled Trades Shortage
It is estimated that Canada will need one million skilled trades workers by 2020 and there will be a shortage of 800,000.
Why is there a shortage?
Experts think it boils down to a perception distortion amoung the youth. A survey by the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum and Skills Canada found that 71% of students surveyed claimed that their guidance counsellors in high school did not encourage them to go into skilled trades.
