A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labour market.
This paper presents policy recommendations for federal, provincial and territorial governments to improve Canada’s adult education system by addressing gaps in skill development, assessment and certification practices. Based on previous reform efforts and lessons learned from a successful case-study in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the author argues for several areas of improvement.
These include 1) making adult education mainstream, 2) expanding measures of progress, 3) supporting the professionalization of educators, 4) empowering Indigenous leadership in education, and 5) building toward national coordination.
These lessons will support the development of a strong education strategy and a better future for Canadians.
