All Ontario secondary and post-secondary students will have to participate in work co-op programs if the government keeps its promise to implement the recommendations from a panel of experts.
The “highly skilled workforce expert panel” was set up last December to develop a strategy to better link the education system with the province’s job needs.
The panel recommends better partnerships between educators and employers to “bridge the gap between the skills industries need and what the workforce offers.”
It suggests all students get “experiential learning” or work co-op placements.
